Please god dont give them more conspiracies. Someone is going to believe it was actually Biden firing and that if he stops showing “cognitive decline” it’s because the secret service murdered him today in Butler, PA and he was replaced with a double. I know that sounds insane but I guarantee you’ll be able to find a YouTube rant about it a year from now

Unfortunately it's already started. While democrats have issued statements decrying political violence, republicans like this congressman are already baselessly asserting that Biden ordered this and trying to stoke more violence and inflame the situation further:

The violence only benefits the fascists though, no matter who it's against.
