In a shocking turn of events, Cody Balmer, the individual accused of setting fire to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s mansion while the governor and his family were inside, is reportedly linked to far-left socialism and support for BLM. Yet, the mainstream media seems to be downplaying this narrative.
It’s almost as if there’s a coordinated effort among left-leaning outlets to twist the story. By highlighting Balmer’s criticisms of the Democrats, the media might be trying to paint him as a right-wing threat or imply that Democrats face similar dangers as Republicans. Either way, this narrative is a clear misrepresentation of the facts.
Arson at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence was ‘domestic terrorism’: Fire chief
According to ABC News, Balmer, who was arrested following the fire at Governor Shapiro’s residence, has a history of disdain for Democrats on social media. Despite being denied bail at his arraignment on Monday, the media seems intent on obfuscating his actual political affiliations.
“The attacker was not a fan of Trump I understand just from what I’ve read and from what I’ve been told,” said Trump, adding that he was not informed of the motive in the incident. “The attacker basically wasn’t a fan of anybody’s. Probably just a whack job. And certainly a thing like that cannot be allowed to happen.”
While sources indicate that Balmer’s grievances with the Democratic Party were financially motivated, the article fails to address his leftist leanings, a glaring omission.
Meanwhile, CNN also focuses on his alleged disdain for Democrats and Joe Biden, ignoring his admission of being a socialist who harbors animosity toward both major parties.
CNN is doing continuous segments on the man who set fire to the PA Governor’s mansion. They say that according to social media posts, he has a disdain for just Democrats and Joe Biden. The man was a self-admitted socialist who had a deep hatred for Democrats and Republicans…

This blatant distortion raises the question: would the media be this lenient if Balmer’s political inclinations were even slightly conservative?
Just a mechanic, huh? His history of left-wing socialism and BLM activism just aren’t relevant, I guess.
