MAGA podcaster Steve Bannon — who was President Donald Trump's White House chief strategist during his first term — is now offering up a novel explanation for the perpetrator of a mass shooting at a Mormon church last weekend.

On Sunday, 40 year-old Thomas Sanford — a U.S. Marine Corps veteran — drove his pickup truck festooned with American flags into the Jesus Christ Church of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan and killed four people while injuring eight others. He also set fire to the church. Police killed Sanford roughly eight minutes into the attack.

Investigators say Sanford harbored hostile feelings toward the Mormons, and had previously been in a relationship with a Mormon woman. Sanford was an apparent Trump supporter, and was once photographed in a t-shirt that read "Trump 2020: Make Liberals Cry Again." He also had a Trump sign outside of his home. But despite all of the shooter's apparent affiliations with the MAGA, Bannon took efforts to distance the shooter from the pro-Trump community, and blamed the attack on "psychotic drugs" before quickly pivoting from the topic entirely.

He quickly pivoted from the killer being a massive trump supporter to his being the victim of psychotic drugs. It is funny drugs are not mentioned when someone from the left is involved. Why does each side try to blame the other in this killings. It is coming from the leader who should be trying to bring the nation together. Instead he wants to divide and spread hate. We have never had a president who spews hate with such regularity. Anyone who resorts to violence to seek revenge of supposedly make a sick point is disturbed, and it does not matter which side of the aisle they are on.

Support for Trump and dislike of Mormons isn't mutually exclusive. Millions of people live their entire lives filled with likes and dislikes, that have nothing to do with Trump at all.

This is why unless there is a specific intent, I don't say "this is a left wing problem" etc.

Radicals exist from all political ideologies.

The difference is the killing of Charlie was very political, it was terrorism. Some whacko attacking a church is just a whacko, he isn't going to impact the political landscape.

Maga isn't defending the shooter, and no where is MAGA attacking or demonizing mormons.

You are completely missing the point. The shooter was a Magat. The minute Bannon found that out, he attributed the shooting to drug use, avoiding the Magat connection...Magat.

So how does shooting up a Mormon Church help MAGA?

Not a MAGA thing, we respect churches.

Democrats and their minions in the media managed to dodge and weave and otherwise ignore the fact that mass shooter James Hodgkinson who shot republican congressman Scalise was a big Bernie Sanders supporter and worked on his campaign. Hodgkinson may have even met with Sanders before the shooting but nobody ever asked Sanders about his relation with the shooter. You almost have to laugh that democrats are so desperate to label the nut case LDS shooter as a Trump supporter because of a six year old photo of a T shirt that may or may not have been photoshopped.

Yep, radicals are radicals and the US political system encourages people to be radical. On both sides. Now it's escalating.

There was no maga connection as I already stated nothing about maga targets mormons or shooting up churches.

If he was pictured wearing a Bee Gees shirt, what would that prove?

There doesn’t seem to be any indication that this incident was politically motivated so why would his politics matter?

This attack on the Mormon church wasn’t political. Not everything has to do with which team you root for politically.

I'm MAGA and I admire the Mormon's discipline, devotion and sense of responsibility. I don't agree with all their ways, but they have created a very successful society that seems to work well. Most MAGA people are the live and let live types, who will have no problems with any religion that isn't trying to deprive them of their rights.
