American mainstream news media need to ask three highly relevant questions:

1.) What is Cody Balmer’s background?

2) How was Cody Balmer radicalized, and by whom?

3) Why is Trump remaining rather silent?

Balmer has admitted to "harboring hatred" toward Governor Shapiro. He also has a history of expressing animosity toward Joe Biden and his supporters. He posted: “Biden supporters shouldn’t exist. Where were you his first run? Well aware of the trash he is.” In 2016, Balmer pleaded guilty to forgery and theft. He is still facing trial on a 2023 assault charge. Trump today is too busy gloating over his refusal to retrieve an innocent man he abducted and sent to a hellish Salvadoran prison.

Balmer seemed to hate both parties equally, from what I heard.

Balmer expressed his disdain for Democrats several times on social media, but where is the evidence of any animosity toward Republicans?

He shared memes criticizing Trump on social media too.
