David French on @KatyTurNBC absolves Trump from any role in the Pittsburgh murders;the murderer was anti-Trump, the caravan was widely in the news. Reality: murderer thought Trump wasn’t doing enough in the areas Trump highlighted. The caravan was in the news because of Trump!
Asylum seekers in the caravan are on foot almost 1000 miles from the border. They are not murderers or terrorists. Trump has cynically made this his big election issue to whip up through division & hate his voters.He has been aided and abetted by republican congressional leaders
Fox, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Levin have parroted the messages about the caravan, all designed to raise fears and promote the worst kind of nativism. Talk of globalists, Soros, Bloomberg are nakedly anti-Semitic. To argue that the murderous action is detached from Trump is nonsense
Now this outrageous misuse by the commander in chief of our active duty troops. Sending up to 5000 military to a border to defend against defenseless asylum-seekers who are 1000 miles away is a blatant political stunt. But for many like the Pittsburgh shooter it will send alarms
