If Timothy McVeigh ran for president after his Oklahoma bombing against the American people, could he have avoided jail and execution?

And here is why I have moved away from the GOP despite my political leanings being the same.

When this bombing happened, republicans and democrats equally denounced the incident AND his views, calling them radical, foolish, etc.

While most GOP today denounce the bombing, if you read McVeighs viewpoints to GOP members without saying whose views they were, I would bet over 90% STRONGLY agree with them.

The Republicans would have recruited him to run for congress. And he would win in the area where the bombing was. Oklahoma is a red state where anyone with the magic R is automatically elected.

He'd have been Donald "RICO" Trump's VP pick

Yes. John Wilkes Booth, too. Hated tyrants, hated black folk, hated people getting citizenship. We could've had President booth if he'd played his cards right.

The Far Right...on the wrong side of history since ever.

Just think of McVeigh with all the special treatment that Trump has gotten. McVeigh would be waiting for the trial and threatening more people from his own home. Drumming up multi millions in donations.

What? No he would not be accepted by this Republican or any of the lawmakers that are Republicans. What he did was terrible!

You are ridiculous.
