Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh said Friday there’s a theory that the New Zealand shooting massacre was actually a false flag attack conducted to boost the political left and the gun control movement.<\/p>\n
Speaking on his show, Limbaugh said the accused shooter in the terror attack \u2014 which left\u00a049 people dead<\/a>\u00a0at two mosques in Christchurch \u2014 could have been a gun control advocate rather than the anti-immigrant, white supremacist\u00a0he claimed to be<\/a>.<\/p>\n “There’s an ongoing theory that the shooter himself may in fact be a leftist who writes the manifesto and then goes out and performs the deed purposely to smear his political enemies, knowing he’s gonna get shot in the process,”\u00a0Limbaugh said<\/a>. “You can’t immediately discount this.”<\/p>\n After reading portions of the accused shooter’s manifesto that referenced U.S. politics, Limbaugh added, “Now, if we’re to take this at face value, the guy’s objective here \u2014 and it probably is multifaceted \u2014 but one of his objectives is to continue to roil American society because he understands the leadership role America takes in the world, both culturally, economically, and politically.”<\/p>\n
