McCabe on ‘Targeted Shootings’ in Minnesota: ‘This May Have Been Politically Motivated Violence Directed at Specifically Democrats’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MCCABE: “First and foremost, they are in the middle of a deadly manhunt. You have, no matter what his motivation was or how he picked his targets. You have someone who went into two neighborhoods in suburban Minnesota and committed acts of horrific, targeted, intentional violence, and that person is still at large. The police are approaching this, as in a very similar way as they would to when we have, like escapees from a prison facility, they know what the description is. They know where he was last seen. They‘re going to set up a perimeter around that area. They‘re going to have all the all citizens and civilians shelter in place to stay off the deck, as it were, and they‘re going to look for that person. On the other hand, knowing the similarities between these victims and the possibility, the distinct possibility that this may have been politically motivated violence directed at specifically Democrats. That gives investigators two things. One, it‘s the it identifies a population that you now have to put on really high alert. I‘m sure they are probably reaching out to other Democratic politicians in that area to make sure that they‘re safe, that they haven‘t been victimized, and to, you know, instruct them on what steps to take. And also, it might indicate for them new potential targets like where this person they are looking for might be headed next. If in fact, they‘re not already just committed to fleeing the area, they may be looking for another target that they have in mind. Investigators are probably racing to look to uncover every similarity between these two victims, not just the fact that they‘re both state politicians, that they‘re both democratic.”
