I guess this crime will be forgotten quickly. Doesn’t fit the narrative.
Cody Balmer, the Harrisburg man accused of attempting to burn down the PA Governor’s mansion was according to him “a registered socialist.”

He was neither a Republican or Democrat, and frequently shared links from anarchist accounts on Facebook.

But wait. NBC News is still trying to make it work. Here’s how they describe Balmer.
Balmer worked as a mechanic. Kindermans Auto Repair, an auto repair shop in Harrisburg, wrote on Facebook on Sunday that he was a former employee at the shop.
Balmer’s social media presence suggests he held staunch anti-government views. He often posted memes urging people to “become ungovernable” and reposted an artwork of a Molotov cocktail in 2022 with the slogan “Be the light you want to see in the world.”
He posted negative content about then-President Joe Biden and seemed to reject Biden’s 2020 presidential win. He shared posts on Facebook criticizing Biden during his term, including a picture with the text “Joe Biden owes me 2 grand” and a post that said “Biden supporters shouldn’t exist.”
He also shared a meme in 2020 that argued that both Democrats and Republicans “would rather argue with other than work to solve the problems we are facing.”
Wow. Nice try. Impressive. MAGA all the way, huh? Jussie Smollet didn’t try this hard to frame MAGA. Wow.
I see that other media outlets are picking up on the “anti-government” wording. Hey, they only have one trick. It’s all they got. Expect them to play it and then toss it down the memory hole.
