And as an event that almost changed everything, it was forgotten about in about 3 days. It is crazy to me how quickly no one gave a fuck that he’d almost been assassinated. It fell off the news cycle before Biden stepped out of the race. I guess once they figured out it was a crazy guy and not politically motivated, no one cared.
No one was inside his head, but he donated to Dems and registered Republican. He googled both Biden and Trump events and seemed to pick the most convenient one. So we can’t know for sure, but none of the evidence points to any particular political motivation, just wanted to go out famous.
