In the search for answers after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, there is newfound scrutiny on the suspect’s social media posts and how his anti-Semitism merged with a hatred of immigrants. 

The suspect, Robert Bowers, complained about immigrant “invaders” six days before the shooting.
While there is no such invasion happening, this rhetoric has blanketed right-wing media in relation to the Central American migrant caravan that’s been in the news this month. 
And Bowers apparently noticed. On October 21, he wrote on Gab, “I have noticed a change in people saying ‘illegals’ that now say ‘invaders’. I like this.”
