the synagogue killings are directly connected to Trump. Gunman was upset over migrant caravan

he blamed Jewish people for the migrant caravan. Trump made the caravan an national story. He would have even known about it but for Trump's big racist pie hole.

Rather than it just being an immigration issue. He made it into an invading army issue. Driving some of his followers nuts.

Honduran asylum seekers and Jewish people celebrating the Sabbath in their synagogue? I would say, perhaps Trump's rhetoric gives ''the crazies'' license to go out and kill who ever it is they HATE. The only group that Trump has unified, is this freak subset of American 'HATE' culture.

political, racial, religious or cultural. We bomb brown people indiscriminately every day. Preparing to send military troops to help ICE to mow them down at the border as we speak.

Millions dead. Yemen, Syria, Iraq, et al. We weep for every lost soul to the culture of Trump/Rightwing/Fascist/White Supremecist/Anti-Semite Imbeciles.

Bowers posted conspiracy theories about this image a ton. He became convinced Jewish-backed groups were launching an "invasion" through the caravan.

The image and conspiracy were extremely prevalent on Gab, 4chan, conspiracy YouTube and parts of Twitter.

Trump also pushed the Caravan myth about it being funded by George Soros and other Jewish bankers.

Trump is directly responsible for these murders, without him pushing the George Soros stories this doesn't happen today.

Trump was fearmongering about the caravan as having potential terrorists in it, saying he was going to send in the military, etc. This nut attacked Jews because they were, according to him, helping migrant "invaders." That's about as cut and dried as you can get.

Straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Just moments ago, Lou Dobbs guest Chris Farrell (head of Judicial Watch) says Caravan is being funded/directed by the "Soros-occupied State Department".
