Bernie Sanders did something most of the left is refusing to do.
He came out and EXPLICITLY said it’s WRONG to Blame Trump for the Synagogue shooting.
According to Daily Wire:
Unlike the mainstream media, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) refuses to blame President Trump for the horrific mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday, during which a non-Trump supporting white supremacist took the lives of 11 Jewish-Americans.
“I’m not going to sit here and blame the president,” said the senator, according to the Washington Examiner.
Speaking before a crowd in Northern California on Saturday, the senator from Vermont condemned the Pittsburgh shooting as an assault on the practice of religion.
“If this country stands for anything, it’s gotta stand for the right of people -whether they are Christian, Jewish Muslim whatever they may be- to practice their religion, to live their lives, without bigotry without fear and certainly within their houses of worship,” said Sen. Sanders.
Good on him.
But… does he really feel this way? Or is he smart enough to know that the SECOND he blames Trump for the shooting committed by A MAN WHO HATED HIM, he will be DOUBLY responsible for the fact that one of his supporters nearly massacred a baseball field full of Republicans?
Trump is not responsible for the evil actions of a lunatic.
Neither is Bernie Sanders.
If BOTH SIDES could admit this… maybe we could begin to heal as a nation.
