Conservatives Have Figured Out Who to Blame for the Latest White Supremacist Shooting
Every tragedy—and there’s a lot of them in the world today—leaves us grasping to understand what causes the unthinkable. In the case of the shooting at a synagogue in the San Diego area yesterday that killed one woman and injured three others, we don’t have to look far. The cause is white supremacy.
It seems that the suspect in the shooting posted a manifesto online, in which he espoused popular white supremacist theories and praised other white supremacist shooters like the New Zealand mosque shooter and the shooter who killed eleven Jews at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA last year.
This all seems pretty clear cut. But apparently not if you’re a conservative in the media. To that crowd, there’s only one person can be held responsible for an anti-Semitic attack: Congressional freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar.
No matter that the suspect also has confessed to attempting to burn down a mosque last month and was inspired by a recent attack that killed 50 Muslims. Omar and her criticisms of the Israeli lobby in America are clearly to blame.
