18-year-old Devon Erickson, who killed one student and injured seven more during a shooting at a public charter school in Colorado, previously posted on social media about his hatred for Christians and President Trump.

Erickson and a younger accomplice walked into the STEM School Highlands Ranch yesterday and opened fire on students in two classrooms.

While the motivation behind the attack remains unknown, according to Heavy, Erickson was a leftist who despised Christians and opposed Donald Trump.

“You know what I hate? All these Christians who hate gays, yet in the bible, it says in Deuteronomy 17:12-13, if someone doesn’t do what their priest tells them to do, they are supposed to die. It has plenty of crazy stuff like that. But all they get out of it is ‘ewwwwww gays,’” Erickson wrote on Facebook two years ago.

He also shared a video of comedian Seth Meyers attacking Donald Trump and another post praising Barack Obama.

The shooter appeared to be into the goth or grunge aesthetic, writing “I’m covered in ink and addicted to pain.”

It shouldn’t matter what political ideology a school shooter has unless that ideology was the motivation behind the rampage.

However, whenever such a tragedy occurs, the left rushes to find the gunman’s Facebook page in an effort to blame conservatives.

When a photo emerged of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz wearing a MAGA hat, the massacre was politically weaponized.

Yesterday’s STEM School shooting serves as a reminder that there are lunatics on both fringes of the political spectrum and their actions shouldn’t be cited to demonize innocent people.

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members.

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
