he grandfather of the man alleged to be behind the mass-shooting at a Colorado gay bar this weekend has been named as a MAGA Republican lawmaker who praised the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol last year.
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, is accused of killing five people and injuring 25 more at Club Q.
Posts on social media posts made under Aldrich's mother's name, Laura Voepel, have linked him to former Republican California state assembly member Randy Voepel - claiming he is his grandfather, reports The Guardian.
Confirmed photos of Aldrich himself have yet to emerge, and no mugshot has been released.
Following the attack on the Capitol, Voepel hailed the rioters comparing their actions to that of American Revolutionaries.
'This is Lexington and Concord. First shots fired against tyranny. Tyranny will follow in the aftermath of the Biden swear in on January 20th,' Voepel said.
Voepel, as a member of the California State Assembly from the 71st district represented most of inland San Diego County and part of Riverside County, but he lost his seat to a primary challenger in August. He later tweeted that he 'condemned violence and lawlessness.'
The former mayor of Santee, California at one point left the Republican party for the tea party movement because he deemed the GOP too 'liberal.'

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
