I dunno, if they were going to frame someone, they’d pick someone who would much more neatly fit their narrative of The Violent Left. The fact that this guy could even possibly be far right is a pretty good sign, I think, that they didn’t pick him to take the fall. That said, “DNA left on the trigger” sure is fishy as hell on it’s own.
This guy is why PR consultants and Social Media teams exist. Some people just should not have contact with the public. However good he might or might not be in his work on the project itself, someone should have told him to sit down and shut up and let someone who knows how not to damage the entire game with a single statement handle the communication.
