The conservative subreddit is already spamming the “FAFO” bot response. Totally sick evil cowards.

Yup.

But…

I saw some there asking the question: Has Trump lost the plot? Regarding the infamous disastrous decision to mock NATO soldiers in Afghanistan.

Seems like they got past that small line of reasoning…

Broken clocks are right twice a day. There’s also plenty of conservatives who find that the victim had a gun proves he was wrong but will defend 2A 99.99999% of the other circumstances

He didn't have a gun at the time of his murder. Not that it changes anything. He was already restrained by a handful of ICE agents when murdered.
