Blame the Shooter, Not the “Rhetoric”
15th June 2017
When it comes to violence aimed at politicians, it turns out that Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is quick to blame “rhetoric” for gun attacks on politicians only when the perpetrator apparently disagrees with his ideology, isn’t the only hypocrite and fool.
In a house editorial that is stunning in its intellectual laziness and mendacity, The New York Times manages to tie the actions of sniper James Hodgkinson not simply to today’s over-the-top #NeverTrump #resistance rhetoric but to…Sarah Palin’s fictitious role in the 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords and a dozen other people in a Tucson parking lot. Seriously:
It’s all about the Narrative, Larry.
