MAGA Jumps to Blame Deadly ICE Shooting on 'Radical Left'

MAGA Republicans have jumped to blame Democrats for a fatal shooting at a Texas immigration facility that killed two people and injured another.

Federal authorities say detainees were among the victims and no federal agents had been shot.

However, even before the circumstances of the shooting were known, Vice President JD Vance posted on X that “the obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop.”

Right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer also chimed in, declaring that “it’s pretty obvious a memo has gone out to the radical left. They will be killing their targets from roof tops.”

1. Loomer is a lunatic. If we had better gun laws, this might not have happened

No, MAGA, we don't think in the ways you do.

Stop being so obvious about it.

3. Even here on DU we just had a troll trying to claim that rifle cartridges were found at the scene of the sniper nest

with anti-ICE inscriptions on them and that this was a case of friendly fire, meaning, I guess, that the sniper was targeting ICEholes and missed, hitting detainees.

MIRt took care of that problem toot sweet.

Here we go... time to deflect

Help me understand this. Your side ignores looting laws and assault laws and arson laws and murder laws, but they would magically follow gun laws? Why?

Also, if you really think that the tool (gun) is the one at fault, why didn't you call for outlawing cars when that idiot used a car as a tool to murder that girl at Charlottesville?

For once, let's be honest. You don't really care jack crap about guns. You are too stupid to realize that the Second Amendment was added to help the citizenry protect itself from a tyrannical government. All you know is that your overlords, who long to be tyrants in full control, don't like guns specifically because of the Second Amendment and they tell you, the mindless minion, what you should think and say and, like a good mindless minion, you jump right in line and follow their commands.

The Left Is Denying the Evidence Again

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2025/09/24/the-left-is-denying-the-evidence-again-n3807150

All of this just happened a few days ago and yet here we are again. This morning there was an attack on an ICE facility in Texas and initially, people on the left were in agreement this was sick.

Then FBI Director Kash Patel released this image suggesting a political motive for the shooter.

Immediately, there were howls of derision on the left from people who were eager to discount the claim that this was yet another left-wing shooter.

They mostly avoid outright denials, but are still trying to call the evidence into question.

"In another bizarre attempt to incite hate against the left..."

I don't blame the radical left.

I blame the entire left.

Riddle me this, DUmbass. Chicago has about the strictest gun laws in the country, and it annually rings up the highest total homicide rate in the nation. And don't give that ****ing canard that all the guns are coming from Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

It is not the guns, it is your sons.

Jessica Turd-lov on "The Five" was spouting the predictable leftist B.S. and Gutfeld had NONE of it. He left her sputtering and pissy, which is her natural state.

A clip is imbedded in the link below:

Watch: Greg Gutfeld Goes Off on Co-Host After She Tries to ‘Both Sides’ Violence After ICE Shooting

Jessica Tarlov disgracefully attempted to provide a "both sides" rationalization for a shooting at an ICE facility in Texas that left two people dead; Greg Gutfeld went nuclear on her, pointing out that there's only one side where the violence is coming from, and it's the left.

During Fox News' "The Five" on Wednesday, co-host Tarlov talked about the ICE shooting and how authorities said there was "anti-ICE" messaging on the bullet casings. The shooting came two weeks to the day that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a suspected shooter whom authorities said was influenced by leftist ideology.

Tarlov claimed that it has become too common to hear words like "fascist and fascism" and that's a "both sides' problem. She also said that after Kirk's murder, President Donald Trump said that  "the radical left did this, and then we heard a chorus of 'we are at war.'"

Gutfeld had heard enough and blew up, calling her comments "absolute garbage. When somebody gets murdered, you are saying, 'How dare you be enraged by it?'"

When Tarlov tried to repeat her statement, Gutfeld cut in with, "No, Jessica, I'll give you both sides. I agree with you, there is 'both sides', on one hand you have the hard left and on the other you have the left."

Jessica Tarlov asked, "Why are you so …."

"Because you walk into this room and you're not reading it," Gutfeld replied. "There is no both sides… You don't have the evidence for that."

Tarlov said, "That's not true."

"You can't say Donald Trump said this, you guys act on it," he added. "You guys act on it. We don't."

And this is where it gets gross as Tarlov appears to provide cover for the shooter by claiming he was either influenced by some "leftist cabal" or has eyes and "sees what's going on, maybe there are people in his community of people being picked up from ICE."

That was enough for Gutfeld, who brought the receipts of where the violence was coming from, and it's not the right.

"You have to understand since, Kirk's death, there is no both sides anymore, Jessica," Gutfeld said. "It's real simple, you label someone a fascist or a racist or a Nazi it makes you free to attack them and that has been the ideology from the start."

"The left calls Trump a hate monger," he added. "They've called me a hate monger because I've ridiculed the left, I  ridicule protestors, I ridicule academia, Hollywood, the news media, I make fun of 'The View' every day. I make fun of the UN [United Nations]. Guess what? No one acts on the things that I say because my side doesn't do that! We say people are stupid. We say people are wrong, but we don't say they're evil. That is your game."

"Then you come in and say, 'This is a mentally ill loner.' Well, who do you think does this stuff…People who do this stuff are always that way. The question is, who points them in that direction?" Gutfeld continued. "Why pick ICE? Why pick Kirk? Why target TV stations and put bombs under Fox trucks? Why vandalize memorials? Why kill kids in Catholic schools?"

He wrapped up his comments by saying two things can be true:

A person can be mentally ill, and you can be guiding him to that place in his life. That is how brainwashing works."

Gutfeld rightly blasted Tarlov and her rationalization for violence. He was also right to call her and other Democrats out who have literally no ground to stand on, after demonizing Trump and his supporters for the better part of a decade. Stop it now.

2. 100% projections - "killing targets from rooftops"

No, MAGA, we don't think in the ways you do.

Stop being so obvious about it.

It isn’t the first time that one of yours has shot at immigration enforcement personnel or facilities.

You say you don’t think like us, and yet, one frequently sees members of DU fantasizing about all the terrible things they want to happen to Republicans. Not to mention polls showing that a significant number of leftists think political violence is justified, more so than the right does.

So how do we reconcile these things? Are we to believe the left thinks political violence is justified, but they wouldn’t do such a thing?

In a sense, the DUmp'Rat has staggered drunkenly into an inadvertent truth:

"[They] don't think like us/normal people." As you yourself highlighted:

• THEY are the ones who think that violence/murder over political differences is acceptable.
  
• THEY are the ones routinely dehumanizing anybody who disagrees with them as nazis/evil/etc, delegitimizing anything we might say to counter their asinine arguments and easing closer to the justification threshold for the use of violence against us.
  
• THEY are the ones who go on and on about the sick, violent fantasies of what they'd like to do to the normal people who reject their inflated egos and sense of superiority.

Yes, they are NOTHING AT ALL like normal people.
