Some speculated that the horrific school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, just days before the convention and the ensuing cascade of cancelations by scheduled speakers and entertainers helped deter the crowds.

Tucker Carlson Has a New Baffling Conspiracy Theory About the Uvalde School Massacre and It Somehow Involves COVID Lockdowns | The Smirking Chimp

May be a cartoon of text that says 'WHY DIDN'T GOD STOP THE SHOOTING? BECAUSE GOD DOESN'T EXIST. ENGAGE WITH REALITY AND FIX YOUR FUCKING GUN LAWS. ENE Ta Laa'

“Oh, so the lockdowns dramatically increase the incidence of mental illness among young people and in 10 days, we’ve seen two mass shootings by mentally ill young people. Could there be a connection?” he asked. “Now, that’s not finger-pointing. It’s not to blame [Dr. Anthony] Fauci for yesterday’s shooting. We’re not that low. We’re not Joe Biden. But if people are becoming mentally ill because they’re disconnected from others, what can we do to connect them to others and thereby reduce the incidence of mental illness? That’s a real conversation.”
