00:00Deputy FBI director said that they didn't have any solid evidence on the motive for

00:05the shooter, but then they go ahead and mention a social media account that might be the shooters

00:12and that had apparently posted anti-immigration and anti-Semitic posts.

00:18Do you think that was appropriate by the deputy FBI director, or do you think that's part,

00:22as Senator Cruz said, of the political bias in the leadership?

00:27Look, it's difficult to tell because there was very little transparency from the FBI either.

00:32The CEO of Gab has said that there was a social media page of the shooters that indicated

00:39that he was a left-wing activist.

00:41I don't know if that's true or not, but the FBI certainly didn't acknowledge it.

00:45And I will say, look, I think one of the most concerning aspects of the Biden-Harris administration

00:51over the last four years has been the politicization of law enforcement, the politicization of

00:56the Department of Justice, of the FBI, of the entire machinery of government.

01:02And so it raises natural questions that is the FBI partially revealing information to

01:10frame a political narrative?

01:13Because they're not transparent, because they're not telling us what they found, because they

01:18are stonewalling, and the Secret Service is really stonewalling, it is difficult to know

01:23what the facts are.

01:24I think the American people have a right to know the facts.
