Hard to tell. The picture was widely used in the media, and they’re usually quite careful about that kind of thing. There’s something reddish in it, but it could be material from the truck or its contents. One of the photos the police released of his guns had some red foamy material in it, another photo had some stringy red material (plastic?) lying in the road, and there were various red items in the bed too. I’ll mark it NSFW just in case.
User themeatbridge@lemmy.world observed in another thread how every conservative holds the unshakable, foundational belief that they are a good person, regardless of how they actually act. Here Noem brings it back to “Well, we’re the good guys so it doesn’t matter when we do it.” When you see it in this way, a lot of what the MAGA people do starts to make a little more sense. They don’t have to do anything good, or not do anything bad, in order to be the good guys in their own eyes. It’s just axiomatic for them.
