    What additional evidence do you need? He was asked directly by the state what party he considers himself a supporter of, and he said Republican.

    Conservatives are going to try to disown him no matter what. Don’t let their endless bad faith requests for additional proof convince you that the facts here aren’t straightforward.

      No no no. Voter party affiliation on voter registration doesn’t mean anything on its own. People change their registered parties all the time to vote in the other party’s primaries and such. Also sometimes people forget to switch back.

      For kids, their party affiliation is going to be whatever their parents are (lest they be disowned by their family). For kids, their political views can and do change radically from 18 to 25.

      Party affiliation on voter registration means nothing in the case of the shooter.

          Fine, young adult, whatever. My point still stands. Young new voters are most likely to be registered with the same party affiliation as their parents. It doesn’t mean the shooter is actually a republican.
