The alleged killer, Steven Carrillo, wrote a reference to the “boogaloo movement in blood at the scene of his eventual arrest and reportedly voiced support of a libertarian presidential candidate online. But he did not join the Black Lives Matter protest in Oakland the night of Underwood’s death.
Projection is one of the things that Trump and Rethugs excel at!
Chaos and/or violence is another thing that Trump and Rethugs excel at!
Chaos through violence that would lead to “civil war” is what boogaloo and some Trump’s MAGAs are aiming for (soaring gun sales in a pandemic) - to fulfill their dream of owning the Libs and their false conspiracy theories.
Truth be told, Trump and the far right are really the ones creating chaos and violence against peaceful protesters to get re-elected!
Evil and Machiavellian!
Addendum:
Trump’s police state with Trump’s Thugs

The important thing about Trump World is words have value only as “talking points” which are tangentially connected with reality.
The second thing is to treat this tendency as a social characteristic (like a style of battle) and refer to it primarily in the context of overcoming it.

The GOP has been deflecting attention away from domestic right-wing terrorism for decades, so this is not new. However, the threat of these right-wing extremists does not go away if we ignore it.

“How do we prevent the death of another Patrick Underwood? We don’t allow lawlessness in our streets,” Cuccinelli wrote.
Though it has to be done by a future progressive administration, gun control works.

When do they call the killer antifa in order to advance their claims? The Boogaloo followers and white nationalists have been shown to have ties to the most violent acts and intentional attempts to increase violence at various protests. I have yet to see proof of a massive antifa conspiracy that goes beyond contesting anti-fascism to urging violent and deadly action against the government. Sure, there are individuals who do, but so far, the white nationalists and their off shoots seem to be the ones doing the most damage in terms of killing and injuring police and other government officials. Where’s the investigation of these instigators?

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, opened a hearing Thursday with the false implication that Carrillo was participating in a protest.
Is it just me or is this guy really as dim as he seems 
Was he kicked in the head whilst milking the Nunes Cow?

I will quit calling Republican racists when they stop accusing African-Americans and those that support their efforts of crimes they did not commit.

Oh, Johnson is far dimmer than he at first seems.

Now who is it that is complaining about being censured by Big Tech? Could it be because their narrative is not supported by the evidence?

The racists always indulge themselves of a large measure of alternative history and alternative reality:
