Epstein conspiracy theories fueled the attacker's motive

β€œAnd the the pedophile accusation comes from the extraordinary stupidity and finality of people claiming that the president is in fact engaged in a pedophilic cover up with regard to Jeffrey Epstein. Again, that is a conspiracy theory promoted very widely on left and fairly widely on the grievance party right. The suggestion that he is a rapist, again, unevidenced. The suggestion that he is a traitor, that, of course, is the kind of language that is frequently used by all sorts of people.”

Liberals are statistically more likely to justify political violence

β€œIf you break that down by political ideology, what you find is that very liberal Americans, a quarter of them say that violence can be justified. Only 55% say no. Like, a bare majority say that violence in politics can't be justified among very liberal people.”

β€” Ben Shapiro

β€œIf you break that down by political ideology, what you find is that very liberal Americans, a quarter of them say that violence can be justified. Only 55 say no. Like, a bare majority say that violence in politics can't be justified among very liberal people. Among liberal people, 17% say violence can be justified. 68% say no. Among conservatives, only 6% say political violence can be justified compared to 83% who say no.”

Mainstreaming radical figures like Hasan Piker encourages violence

β€œYou cannot celebrate and hug Hasan Piker and claim to oppose political violence. You can't spread wild evidence free conspiracy theories about the president of The United States calling him a pedophile, the antichrist, a child killer, Hitler, and then pretend that they are kind of shocked when someone picks up a gun and tries to kill him.”

β€” Ben Shapiro

Another assassination attempt targeted Trump in D.C.

β€œOn Saturday night, somebody tried to murder Donald Trump again for the third time in two years. We'll talk about the security shortcomings that let a gun wielding maniac once again within audio distance of the president of The United States. But today, we're really gonna talk about something more. The permission structures for violence that have been created by the left. This stuff is not going to stop. It's not gonna stop because the left has decided to mainstream it.”

Leftist rhetoric creates permission structures for violence

β€œYou cannot hug Luigi Manghion and pretend you hate political violence. You cannot celebrate and hug Hasan Piker and claim to oppose political violence. You can't spread wild evidence free conspiracy theories about the president of The United States calling him a pedophile, the antichrist, a child killer, Hitler, and then pretend that they are kind of shocked when someone picks up a gun and tries to kill him for the third time.”

Security gaps allowed a gunman into the hotel lobby

β€œThe witness described there was a makeshift room apparently near the entrance where bar carts were being stored and where there was no security at the time. Apparently, he was in the room. He grabbed it out of a bag or something. It turns out that the attacker was staying at the hotel, had basically known that the event was going to happen, got a room at the hotel, that's how the weapons got into the hotel.”

β€” Ben Shapiro

The shooter was motivated by baseless Epstein conspiracy theories

β€œI am a citizen of The United States Of America. What my representatives do reflects on me, and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.”

β€” Ben Shapiro quoting Cole Allen

Shooter exploited light hotel lobby security checkpoints

β€œThe shooter, as we'll discuss in a moment, shirtless, face to the ground... It turns out that the attacker was staying at the hotel, had basically known that the event was going to happen, got a room at the hotel, that's how the weapons got into the hotel. And as we'll discuss in a moment, when it comes to security, very light security in terms of people staying at the hotel or people who are entering through the lobby.”

Online conspiracism erodes public trust in objective facts

β€œOnce you move from facts to narrative, it is very easy to move from narrative to conspiracism. And, of course, Anna Navarro said exactly the same thing. Again, apparently, conspiracy theories and nonsense are totally justified so long as you hate Trump enough. It's odd to me that in a place that is teaming with Secret Service, with Washington DC police, with all sorts of law enforcement, this could happen.”

Manifesto claims Trump is a pedophile and traitor

β€œI am a citizen of The United States Of America. What my representatives do reflects on me, and I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes. Well, to be completely honest, I was no longer willing a long time ago, but this is the first real opportunity I've had to do something about it.”

Hasan Piker’s rhetoric mainstreamed calls for revolutionary violence

β€œNow the most obvious iteration of the left's full scale embrace of violent structures and permission structures for violence is the left's full scale embrace of Hasan Piker. Again, just because it's the most obvious because it's been happening so clearly and openly, and we've been talking about this for months at this point, but it came to its sort of apex last week when Hassan Peiker was given the royal treatment by the New York Times.”
