We will never get far as a nation in addressing gun violence if we cannot stick to the facts. And the fact is that most mass shootings are carried out by white people like Houser, not Muslims, not Mexicans, not blacks – and not liberals.
A party that invents “facts” and then claims all future discourse must be based on their fictional evidence, is not a party that should be allowed on TV. This is serious business, best left to mature, and responsible adults. The Republican Party and Fox News have as much legitimacy in the public square as the fictional characters in any children’s animated film.
When Lafayette Police Chief Jim Craft asked in the wake of the shooting, “This is such a senseless, tragic action. Why would you come here and do something like this?” he should not have had to ask.
The reason is right in front of us. Just turn your TV to Fox News.
