Seems like everyone is afraid to call it out for what it is, domestic terrorism due to right wing extremism. After Dana Bash reports that the arsonist had multiple postings on social media about his hatred of Joe Biden, no mention about the significant threats by right wing extremists. He brings up the need for more mental health care, which is true, but DOGE doesnt want to fund this.

who, before the arrest, were saying that there was no question that the arsonist had to be a pro-Palestinian extreme leftist, I cant say Im surprised.

But if hes pro-Palestine, why isnt he targeting the Trump administration, which is supporting Netanyahu?

How about we let the investigation run it's course?
