Not MAGA

4/16/25 PennLive:
"The suspect in the arson attack at the Governor’s Residence targeted Josh Shapiro due to his perceived stance on Palestine, according to a search warrant obtained by PennLive.

"The suspect, Cody Balmer, called 911 following the attack early Sunday, identified himself by name and told operators Shapiro needs to know he “…will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do to the Palestinian people,” the search warrant written by police said.

"Balmer continued, saying he needed to “stop having my friends killed” and that “...our people have been put through too much by that monster,” according to the warrant, which says Balmer’s intonation and cadence sounded like he was possibly reading from a script."

The antisemitism of the left is so troubling because it does not fit with the Republican/Trump narrative of "literally Hitler."  Worse, Balmer's name and appearance do not suggest that the Palestinians are his people.  The left's willingness to identify with whoever is this year's designated victim group shows how destructive identity politics is: you do not even need to be a member to acquire membership status (at least in your own mind).
