>The shooter was a MAGA conservative

I mentioned this in another thread: I think the phrase "anything other than" really messed with people. In the context of his sentence, it does not necessarily mean "obviously he's MAGA", in contrast to how it's often (but not always) used in English. He's using it to emphasize MAGA's behavior, not to emphasize his own opinion of the killer's politics.

Also, it simply wouldn't have made sense for him to declare that the guy was MAGA (or anything else), unless Kimmel is more unreasonable than I thought. I don't know much about him, so I could be wrong on this point, but it just seems like a misinterpretation to me that is fixed by Occam's razor.
