The tweet you reposted specifically, directly asks the question “on a scale of 1-10, how many of you think this was staged?” Why post that if you don’t believe it? Why not post a YouTube video of the raw footage without the CT nonsense?

Even if you don’t believe the shooting was staged, clearly many of the respondents to your OP do, and they have used your OP to spread their CT nonsense.

The lack of a shared reality in this post-truth era is as dangerous to democracy as any of Trump’s atrocities (see the quote in my signature line).

He's dead, he tried to shoot his former hero . He was a lousy shot. Trump crew hasn't released any information. Autumn Monday #31
