Guy tries to murder a politician...

Quick who did he vote for?

What a world

Perfectly natural line of enquiry.

Hopefully the geeky little twat has done more to boost Trumps prospects than anyone could have imagined.

It didn't take them long to investigate the politics of Jo Cox's murderer so why would you expect something different here?

Of course he registered. For access reasons. Investigate political donations he made then come back and tell me. I thought you private detective types would be on to this in a flash.

seems there's a lot of bad intelligence to work with out there

Kind of ironic considering labours vote share amongst Muslims cratered in 2024……

Trump is perfect

So perfect that God chose Trump and let the bullet kill a retired firefighter instead.

Jesus was an unpopular character with dreadful hair and a habit of babbling on about shit that never happened as well.

just accept it

Was it not just a joke aimed at the amount of Muslims we have in this country? 

Obviously said at a conservative event to get a few laughs?

Yes, apparently so.

That said, it was unwise given that everything a politician says is scrutinised to the nth degree, and he aspired to a senior position.

It was. It was a silly thing to say. But it's clearly a jibe. An ill-informed one at that. 

But it was still said to raise a laugh in a room full of conservatives.

Russia is 20%+ Muslim, how come that's never brought up in conversation

I have no idea. Why would it?

Because it's about as relevant as the...6.5% of the population of the United Kingdom

Sure but the fact these sort of offensive things can be said by supposedly serious politicians in order to try and generate laughs is part of the problem.

I think if the right especially in America could behave like grown ups and statesmen we’d all be better off.

No. But it wasn't meant as a "joke".
