Just saw on ABC: The genie is out of the bottle

Rep Joe Barton abd another guy are telling the narrative that the shooter asked which political party was practicing.

No challenge from the media!

Question: Would a gunman radomly walk up ask if this was the right place? I'm not buying it!

I am saying the idea he walked and ask which party was playing there is a BULL SHIT Republican lie!

At least I do not think so, unless the rifle bearer wanted to remove whatever bit of uncertainty he may have been feeling about having located his intended targets.

I am with you, I am not yet buying the story that the rifle bearer approached a random bystander and asked that particular question before opening fire. I will wait for further reports before I reach a conclusion.

just because you dont like the narrative, doesnt mean it didnt happen. I dont know if it did or didnt, but when you see the facebook page of the suspect covered in anti trump rhetoric I dont think its that implausible that it did happen.
