that he doesn't like Trump because he believes Trump is a "globalist."

So he's just full-on anti-semitic.

Robert Bowers has been identified as the suspect who opened fire in a Pittsburgh synagogue, leaving 12 injured and at least eight dead.

Police had not yet released the identity of the suspect but a number of local sources including KDKA identified him as Bowers. The report said that he walked into the crowded synagogue in a Jewish neighborhood and yelled “All Jews must die!” before opening fire.

In one post on Twitter attributed to Bowers, he took aim both at Donald Trump and followers of the QAnon conspiracy, which claims that Trump is part of a secret alliance taking on the so-called “Deep State.”

“Trump is a globalist, not a nationalist,” read a post from two days ago. “There is no #MAGA as long as there is a k**e infestation.”

In another post attributed to Robert Bowers, there appeared to be a warning of the violence that would come.

I can’t sit by and watch my people get slaughtered,” read another post just hours before the shooting took place. “Screw your optics. I’m going in.”

Robert Bowers, who has been taken into custody after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, appeared to be an opponent of Donald Trump and believed he was too close to Jewish interests.

This happens . HE's getting what he wants , violent acts from people listening to his vile rhetoric and acting out for him now. Anyone who believes he's not , just look up White Nationalists history of violence against others.
