Minnesota right winger John Hinderaker, National Zero famous for unintentionally plagiarizing us in a stupid piece about illegal immigrant voter fraud on his PowerLine Blog, wrote late Thursday night that his “think tank” offices were torched by “Leftists” in a Molotov cocktail attack last weekend.

“Leftists firebombed my office last Saturday night. At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses. The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment’s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls’ organization. A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve… I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators. As I told them, the list of potential suspects is long, as my organization is active, and unusually effective, across a broad range of issues. I will have more to say about this before long,” Hinderaker wrote in the post.

Separately in a statement to KSTP, Hinderaker said “The fires obviously were set by someone. They targeted conservative organizations, they didn’t firebomb the chiropractors or psychologists or the Manufacturers Alliance. We are cooperating with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators.”

Hinderaker is a bit of a “Love Trump’s ‘policies’ more than Trump himself” kind of conservative, which often pisses off his site’s fans, like the time in November 2020 when he pointed out that an affidavit filed in one of Team Orange’s many, many failed court cases trying to overturn his loss was based on data where some asshole thought “MN” was the postal code for Michigan. Which is to say it’s just as likely, maybe even more so, that Hinderaker was targeted because he’s too “moderate.”
