WATCH: Brooklynites Say Orlando Was ‘100 Percent the Republicans’ Fault
Townhall.com ^ | June 17, 2016 | Cortney O'Brien

Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS while he opened fire on the Pulse nightclub in Orlando last weekend, proving his attack was borne out of radical Islam.

Yet, if you ask some bystanders in Brooklyn, they’ll tell you the gunman’s rampage had nothing to do with religion. That’s what filmmaker Ami Horowitz found when he asked New Yorkers who was to blame for Sunday’s stark death toll.

“I don’t think it had much to do with Islam, to be honest,” said one Brooklynite.

“I don’t think it was a terrorist,” said another.

Republicans and guns played a much larger role in the carnage, they argued.

“One hundred percent the Republicans.”

“Guns way more than Islam – way more.”

Political correctness never ceases to amaze.

Ami Horowitz

It can be a grind dealing with people like this. I would never bring up politics much at work, even if I worked with conservatives, but these people really are addled. I just shake my head.

Lots of ignorant people out there that are easily indoctrinated and influenced by the MSM talking points.

The MSM itself shoulders a lot of responsibility for the terrorist attacks. The MSM elects liberals whose policies encourage terrorist attacks.

I left California for the Deep South 30 years ago to get away from people like this. I’m so glad I did. I wish the South would secede again but I fear it is too late.

And the Nazis had nothing to do with the Holocaust. It was the manufacturers of the gas chambers and the politicians who wouldn’t ban their manufacture.

Or did they move?

Idiots. Using their logic planes caused 9/11, not the Islamic hijackers.

I don’t know whether to be amazed they can actually form word with their base intellect or want to find their parents to slap them silly for raising such stupid children.

I guess both will work given the opportunity.

Seriously though; I had no idea people this stupid actually lived. I would have thought natural selection would have removed them from the gene pool before the age of 2 or 3 at the latest.

I didn’t look; do they have devices to help them breathe? It’s hard to imagine anyone that far down the mental food chain could breathe on their own.... just sayin’.

After watching so many random interviews of people on the street going back to Jay-Walking days, I want to cry. The ignorance is just staggering! And many of these people are college students.

If a “Christian” committed the massacre, the tarts would be bitching about Christianity.

One has to pity the poor islamic jihadist. I mean what does an islamic jihadist have to do to convince Americans that they are Islamic jihadists? Call 911 and pledge allegiance to ISIS in the midst of a terror attack? Post on Facebook their undying loyalty to ISIS during a terror attack? Shout Aloha Snackbar while murdering their terror attack victims?

Such willful denial is both amazing and disturbing to see. After all, these are American voters...
