Rascal Flatts singer Gary LeVox is clearing up confusion over his previous comments about the Christmas Day bombing in Nashville.
Authorities this weekend identified the suspect as 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner, who died after detonating a bomb in downtown Nashville in the early hours of Dec. 25.
Days after the blast, LeVox, 50, raised eyebrows when he appeared to be questioning a conspiracy theory circulating online as to whether the bombing was actually a ‘missile attack’ intended to stop AT&T from investigating votes. . In his post he has since removed, LeVox shared screenshots of a video that drove this theory. Along with the photos he wrote: “NASHVILLE MISSLE ATTACK. The RV is in the left circle. The circle on the right is the IMPACT SITE! HMMMMM ???? It will be interesting to see what cover-up happens with this crap! Let’s see what they come up with. What are your thoughts? “
LeVox spoke to Rick Daniels, host of ‘Big Rick in the Morning’, on Wednesday to discuss his controversial post, where he insisted that he simply ‘ask questions’ rather than jump to his own conclusions.

“So one of my friends sent me the video. I took a picture of it. It shows where the RV’s RV was,” LeVox explained. “I was like, wait a minute. There’s the RV and there’s the source of the explosion. I know nothing about explosions, but it made me ask a question, like ‘Hmm?’ ‘
LeVox claims to be ‘the last political conspiracy theorist on the planet’, but initially considered the theory because it was sent to him from a friend he trusted.
The singer insisted that the purpose of his post was to see what the public thinks.
“I just wanted to hear what everyone else is thinking. I’ll tell you what Big Rick, I’ve never seen so much hate,” LeVox said.

In terms of LeVox’s claim that there could be some kind of “cover-up”, the band member hinted that 2020 left him in a lot of doubt, given the various limitations and reactions associated with the coronavirus pandemic.
“It looks like nothing will be on sight again by 2020,” LeVox said. “Look how long we’ve been dealing with the pandemic. Are you wearing a mask? Do not wear a mask? It was a whole year of questions. When this thing happened in Nashville, which was Christmas morning when we woke up , I was like, ‘Let’s see how they try to cover it up.’

“I’m just going to say, ‘Okay. Add this to the 2020 list. What is the truth more people? ‘, He concluded.
The FBI on Tuesday released new photos showing the aftermath of an explosion on Christmas Day. Photos show the skeleton of a wrecked vehicle and law enforcement officers are searching the scene for any useful evidence to answer ongoing questions related to Warner’s actions and his motive behind the attack.

The blast went off shortly after an audio recording of his recreational vehicle warned passers-by that a bomb would explode within minutes, followed by Petula Clark’s “Downtown”.
A number of country stars and professional athletes in Nashville reacted to the frightening explosion on Christmas morning, and Clark told Fox News on Tuesday she was in “shock and disbelief” over the despair that the explosion brought.
