CNN Panel: Finances, Mental Illness, Seeing Military Uniforms Triggered Afghan Shooter
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 11/27/2025 9:47:35 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton began by claiming that anyone can be radicalized, pointing to Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber! If ours is a country of 350 million potential mass murderers, all the more reason not to add to the count by admitting millions of lightly-vetted foreigners!

Leighton went on to say that the Afghan's struggles to make ends meet after coming to US might have set him off. Seriously? Perhaps he should have stayed in Afghanistan, that land of plenty!

Meghan Hays, a CNN commentator and former Biden aide, claimed that the fact that the Afghan shot at point-blank range proved that he was a "crazy person' with "mental illness."

Seventy-two virgins ring a bell, Meghan? Are all the "martyrs" insane?

Host Audie Cornish cautioned Hays on her insanity claim, saying we need to learn more. But Cornish continued:

"I will say that as US uniforms are a symbol, and as that symbol becomes controversial because of the way that they're used, we can create situations that we're all nervous about."

So, Audie, if poor Rahmanullah was triggered by seeing the Guardsmen in uniform, should the National Guardsmen perhaps dress in plain clothes to avoid upsetting the jihadis?

But wait: that's not an option, either! Liberals denounce ICE agents for NOT being in uniform!

CNN is great therapy for those who are depressed because they feel that they might be uneducated, not very smart, naive, etc. That’s because no matter who you are, where you are, when you are, when you turn on CNN, you will always see the most inept and ignorant collection of pretend tallent/intellect that exists in all the multitude of multiverses.

Every person on that panel should be forced to house an afghan ‘refugee’ in their spare bedroom.

Perhaps they could wear pink bathrobes while patrolling?

Eh, I could see where the guy could have been suffering from PTSD, and got triggered by military uniforms.

If it was PTSD, though, why did he travel from Washington State, to Washington, DC to do it?

They’re still trying to convince us that all cultures are equal. That all beliefs are valid. That kind of attitude gets people killed.

Here we go again.

Liberal pantywaists making excuses for violent behavior and pleading for mercy for the perpetrator.

There will be calls for some softhearted judge to "give him another chance" and put him back out on the street to act out again.

If he's so easily "triggered" is it safe for society for him to be loose in it? Don't potential victims have rights too?

I noticed the local VA facility stopped tuning the TVs to CNN.

My guess is they realized CNN’s BS was inimical to Vets’ blood pressure

How about he is a Muslim radical who wants Westerners to die?

The Immigration Act of 1965 and the asylum laws were the self inflicted poison that has resulted in cultural suicide. The death has been prolonged and definitely not painless. Then again it did not help nearly half of the endemic population has embraced neo pagan, hedonistic decadence. Sorry Ben Franklin, it appears we could not keep it.

Most of them probably have "guest houses" and a summer "cottage" or two.
