On today's Morning Joe, MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire argued that Tyler Robinson's motives "almost shouldn't matter." Isn't Lemire a "news" reporter? Facts don't matter?

Employing the James Carville deflection technique of "look ovah heah, a squirrel!," Lemire argued that rather than considering Robinson's motives, "we should be focusing" on the fact that the country is "awash in guns," and on the harmful influence of social media.

Plèèeeeeze Joe you’re not talking to children.

[rktman]

Joe is a child.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

These people are DESPICABLE.

[JonPreston]

If anyone in the media has insight into the motive of a murderer, it’s Joe.

Obviously the DNC new marching orders .

Talk Gun Control .

Not the Crazy Trannies conspiring to kill White Men and Dems Screaming Hate the Gop and whities 24-7 .

The gun argument is particularly awful in this case. The one type of gun Democrats claim they have no interest in taking are hunting weapons, which is exactly what this was. Just a bolt-action rifle. So if your answer to this assassination is "gun-control", then you're wiping out hunting too.

Politically, that's suicide.

Filth in shoes, talkng.

Morning Schmo lost all his credibility when he said "Biden is the best he's ever been". Anyone who takes anything this moron says as anything but complete bullsh*t is...dumber than a...

So typical of Leftists. Whenever someone on the left of a “protected group” does something, the reason doesn’t matter and we must instead focus on whatever the Left and media want us to think is the problem. That s—t doesn’t fly amymore.

[Salamander]

Bizarrely, in a court of law, prosecution must prove motive.

Crazy.

Jonathan Lemire is a gaslighting puppet - the issue is not the 2nd Amendment

the foremost issue today is the 1st Amendment

[DeplorablePaul]

Recall the first words out of Bill Clinton’s mouth after the Vince Foster’s suicide, “We’ll never know why he did it.” Meanwhile Hillary is clearing out his office to hide her corrupt secrets. The left obviously doesn’t want the public to know that the shooter killed Kirk to be a hero for his trannie lover and gamer group.

[Resolute Conservative]

I will agree that motive as it relates to the arrest/prosecution/punishment for the crime is irrelevant. Loser did it, he should die by capital punishment. Murder is murder.

Where it does matter is in society and how we have let mentally ill people get off with committing crime and not having institutions for them like we did in decades passed and they walk the street. Also, declassifying certain behaviors as not an illness.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

The people who cheer on murder want us disarmed?? Hard pass.

[Theophilus]

awash in guns

So if we destroyed half our guns, would Charlie only be half-dead?

President Trump should deregulate the ammo industry and distribution. In fact, we should detax and subsidize it so that we can improve our marksmanship.

..., "we should be focusing" on the fact that the country is "awash in guns," and on the harmful influence of social media.

And, whatever you do, don't focus on the harmful influence of main stream media.

That’s odd, since the media will IMMEDIATELY call any crime against a POC to be motivated by “Racism”, no matter what the facts are.
