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.

Thank you for mentioning that the quote is from Jonathan Lemire.
Despite that have been stated in the first line of this post, several people have attributed the quote to Scarborough. He has plenty to account for, but not this statement.
Motive is not an element in crimes. Here it doesn’t matter why you did it outside of self-defense. Hollyweird has perpetuated this motive thing to make their tv shows exciting.
Translation: “We should never be held responsible for the evil we worked so hard to create.”
“”””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.”””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””””
They will say the rifle had a black stock, which makes it an assault rifle. They are tarded.
I really think MSNBC should just shut here. But they can’t help themselves. Leftists are social awkward, damaged and angry, really can’t reason with them. Like a retarded child throwing himself on the floor at Walmart cause you won;t buy them a plastic toy. Think I’m kidding...leftsist under 30 are almost to person developmentally challenged. They are into Hentai animation, gaming, designer drugs, body modifications, collecting child’s toys like Pokémon and Labubus
Because they know they are at the root of it. If you discover the motive you can see something say something. The left can’t handle the truth. Emotionally retarded.
Without the Second Amendment, there is no First Amendment.
As far as I can tell, that IS the Dem's plan at the moment. If I tried to construct a list of stances for them to take as the fastest way to self-destruct, I could not imagine doing much better than the list that they are pushing right now.
Good reminder
Fine.
Intent, then.
Bingo. I would be interesting to learn the motivation behind the death of Joe Scarborough's intern.
OK.
Now do “Hate Crime” laws numb nuts.
“Well that’s different!”
Leftist ideology can often be summed up as “It’s OK When We Do It”.
Pinched face Liberal spews
Now they’re going after hunting rifles?
So when it’s a Tranny loving leftist motive is not to be considered even though it is the foundation for all hate crime laws.
Those pesky guns, just going out and committing all sorts of crimes! Just like those cars going out all by themselves and crashing into people, and the drugs that do themselves.
Yep, all bad they are.
Like the tobacco industry arguing against finding a cause for lung cancer.
Actually, motive is not a requirement in criminal cases. Facts are relevant, motives are speculation.
Aw yes of course. Leftists kill in the name of leftism and “AND NOW SPORTS”
Some crazy person ran a car through a demonstration and killed a leftist “he is obviously a MAGA racist Trump supporter and his actions define everything we don’t like and Trump is literally Hitler”
Seems “ intent” is required.
(I didn’t stay at the Holiday Inn Express either)
