Former CIA trained operative Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer went on with Martha MacCallum Tuesday night on FOX News.
Shaffer said the Vegas massacre is shaping up to be a deliberate act of terror by a killer who was politically motivated.
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer: I think it’s shaping up to be a very deliberate act of terror. This is beyond dispute. The question becomes motive. Everybody seems to be searching for a motive. I would argue most of the clues of motive is right in front of us… It was a politically selected target… This is the perception base on information. The perception was going to be a lot of pro-gun folks there, Trump supporters at this concert. So therefore, I believe the perception was, by the shooter, by Paddock, this was a legitimate target of political expression. Martha this may be something people don’t like to understand but the very reason that Hodgkinson did what he did, and I believe Paddock did what he did, because the left has now encouraged the use of violence as an extension and use of political speech.
