I wasn't complaining about labeling. I was complaining because assertions that she was an NRA or ISIS supporter were false.

I believe my assertions were true. Here are the first two people I saw on my twitter search:

Jack Posobiec Wikipedia: "John Michael "Jack" Posobiec III (/pəˈsoʊbɪk/ pə-SOW-bik; born 1985) is an American alt-right[1][2][3] internet troll, conspiracy theorist,[4][5] and self-described journalist, known primarily for his controversial and pro-Donald Trump comments on Twitter."

He was claiming that google removed her videos from youtube as part of a coverup because she didn't fit the narrative of conservative white males causing mass shootings

Laura Loomer Wikipedia: "Laura Elizabeth Loomer is an alt-right[1] American political activist and Internet personality. She was a reporter for Canada's The Rebel Media during the summer of 2017, resigning that September.[2][3][4][5][6] Prior to June 2017, she worked for Project Veritas with James O'Keefe.[3]"

Her tweets are calling the youtube shooting "an act of jihad". Also made a tweet that seemed to imply, because the shooter has an androgynous name and muscular build, that she could be trans. As if that has anything to do with it.
