1. Sen Lee & right wing got a faux narrative embedded before all the facts came out and still carry it

They heard Walz appointed the guy to some small time advisory commission, almost ceremonial only in impact. So they thought Aha! He and the Democrat are big pals. Then they read that one of the victims, a D, had voted against the Democrats to block immigrants from accessing health care and they all said Aha! he's knocking Ds off who didn't toe the line. Then the photocopied No Kings paper confirmed it for them. Aha! a marxist looney! They knew it from the beginning!

But it came out that 1) He had last registered as a Republican, 2) He said a bunch of pro-tRump things to his roommate, 3) all the hit list targets were all pro-choice, 4) all were Democrats, and 5) He was anti-progressive (example anti-LGBT) pastor in his own evangelical church movement.

But their narrative was set and even now most maga think the media is pulling a fast one and lying calling him pro-tRump.

Hence Sen Lee thought he was on solid ground Sunday. But he was stupid and shameful.
