Oh sure the simplest explanation is that assuming the USA suddenly got way worse mental health care soon as a certain someone was elected, but were fine for every year before that, and assuming that the arguer isn't just using this as yet another excuse to whine about guns, and assuming the Trump administration are conspiring together in an elaborate 5D chess move involving firing everyone competent and setting themselves up to be assassinated, but not conspiring together to stage political events (at a political event), then maybe the third (fourth?) time this happened, the shooter could have conveniently missed.

Or, it was staged. You don't think it was staged? Because it's very simple to stage that sort of thing. So Joan Westenberg is arguing that the simplest explanation is not more likely. Often times, that's true, and humans are doing something elaborate, overcomplicated, and not simple. In this case... it's a stage play until I learn otherwise.
