On CNN, Another Irresponsible Democrat Blames Charleston Shooting on Fox News, Republicans

Here we go again with another irresponsible Democrat official blaming Fox News and Republicans for a shooting crime–and well ahead of knowing anything at all about the life of the shooter.

This scumbag is named J. Todd Rutherford, the minority leader of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and he appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper[1] to say that the shooter was a Fox News fan and that is why he went on a murder spree.

But the fact is we don’t know what sort of media habits this killer had. No one knows if he watched Fox News. No one has reported anything about his voting habits or his political affiliations. But here we have this creep in South Carolina raining hate speech down on his political opponents.

It’s really hate speech and coded language and leads people to believe they can walk into a church, because it’s no longer a house of god, it’s a killing ground. It’s a place that they can feel free to desecrate and leave blood everywhere, and that’s what this man did. And he did so on some ill-gotten belief, on some wrong belief that it’s okay to do that. He hears that, because he watches the news and he watches things like Fox News, where they talk about things that they call news, but they’re really not. They use that coded language, they use hate speech, they talk about the president as if he’s not the president. They talk about churchgoers as if they’re not really churchgoers. And that’s what this young man acted on. That’s why you can walk into a church and treat people like animals when they’re really human beings.

This liar has absolutely no facts behind his hate speech against conservatives and Fox News. None. Yet he saying his lies as if he is stating objective truth.

Sadly, Jake Tapper just let all that garbage go over his airwaves without challenge.

Democrats are filled with more hate than anyone in this country.
