ABC Blames Orlando Terror on Election Rhetoric and Guns in America

Dowd continued, “And now, maybe in the course of this, after what happened, the temperatures will go down and we, sort of, get back to a place where we can understand the common good.”

Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway then argued that America is in need of strong leadership. “But strong leadership, Kelly, is not about fear mongering and exploiting racial anxieties, and bigotry,” snapped The Nation editor Katrina Vanden Heuvel.

Heuvel had her own narrative to spin the deaths of the innocent for:

I think the, you know, grief and anger today, but we can't lose sight of senseless gun violence and the gun epidemic in this country....

If the Democrats can’t talk about “radical Muslim Control”, we can’t talk about “reasonable gun control”.

The MSM is unconscionable. They belong in prison for attacking America.

This is the moment America awakes or it doesn’t.

To me it is obvious.

To others on American soil, they fall hard for hooks in costume.

Radical Islam is intolerant of women, gays, ...western culture. Heck, its even intolerant of non-radical Muslim’s. Unfortunately there is no push back from the Muslim community all over the world because 1-there is a large group of Muslim’s who, while not violent, silently approve of these attacks, and 2-an even larger group of Muslim’s who are simply intimidated into silence.

The liberal part of the West blames itself for being hated and can’t apologize enough to get the radicals to stop the killing and conservative part of the West would love to strike back, but gets labeled as haters....by the Radical Muslims and the liberal part of the west.

...or maybe, just maybe, the administration’s pro LGBT agenda, covering the White House in rainbow colors, and transgender bathroom policy have served as a recruiting tool for ISIS and further fanned the flames of hatred towards this country.

The end goal is to take guns from whitey and let non-whitey keep theirs.

MSNBC did the same thing, and did not mention Islamic terror once. Katrina Van den Heuvel is a communist married to a communist.

Liberalism is a mental disease usually contracted on U.S. college campuses.
