April 28, 2019A 19-year-old man opened fire at a Poway, California synagogue on Saturday, killing one woman– 60-year-old Lori Gilbert-Kaye– and injuring three more.
Synagogues, churches and mosques have all been attacked in recent months. It almost feels like someone’s trying to start a religious war or something…
We should all condemn these attacks. It’s utterly absurd to place the blame on President Trump’s rhetoric. He hasn’t “incited violence.” If anything, he’s been the most friendly president to the Jewish people.
Doesn’t matter. At least not to ABC political analyst Matthew Dowd. He said Trump’s rhetoric is essentially giving psychos “permission” to act out in these murderous ways.
As they were approaching the end of the program, host George Stephanopoulos suggested he saw a “real pattern here. We’re seeing it again and again and again. Spread over the internet. Even earlier in the week in Sunnyvale, California, a man drives a car into a crowd he thinks is going to be filled with Muslims. This seems to be contagious.”
In spite of the fact that the driver in the Sunnyvale case was black, Dowd launched into a rant about how “radical white extremism” was on the rise in America and suggested, “it’s actually a much bigger problem within America than radical Islam”.
After a quick detour to push gun control, Dowd demanded that President Trump “look in the mirror and understand that the rhetoric, the words he uses in all of this inflame a big part of what’s going on in America, give permission to the most craziest people in America.”
“Not that the President is responsible but his rhetoric adds to that and he needs to reflect on that,” he added.
Are you kidding me? What rhetoric? WHAT SPECIFIC RHETORIC? I WANNA KNOW.
Blaming Trump is a cheap shot. It’s easy to do and easy to say. In reality, Dowd has nothing to offer.
When in doubt, blame Trump. It’s the liberal way.
