It wasn’t 24-hours since the first of two tragic mass shootings on Saturday and ABC News was entrenched and spewing the liberal hate that demanded that President Trump be considered the cause of the violence. Suggesting it was “fair” to blame Trump for the shootings during Sunday’s Good Morning America, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl argued the shootings were “going to be something that he is going to have to answer for.”
Karl was teed up by GMA co-host Dan Harris who played a soundbite of former El Paso Congressman Beto O’Rourke, who called “racist” Trump the cause of the shootings. “Several of the Democrats who are running for president right now are tieing President Trump to these mass shootings,” Harris said. “Is it fair, Jon, to tie the President to this violence?”
“Dan, whether or not it’s fair, he’s going to have to answer those questions. The bottom line is this President has had rhetoric on immigration and on immigrants that has been deeply divisive. And this is going to be something that he is going to have to answer for,” Karl declared.
Harris softball pitched that to Karl in a question that suggested Democrats were the only party that wanted to solve the problem of gun violence. “Right now we’re in the middle of an all too familiar macabre dance that we do as a country after these mass shootings where Democratic politicians come out and call for new legislation on guns and then essentially nothing happens,” he whined.
All of that came after a report that celebrated the outcry from 2020 Democratic candidates exclusively. “It was an emotional response from a presidential candidate horrified by yet another mass shooting,” reported ABC’s Rachel Scott; touting O’Rourke for “joining other candidates in calling out President Trump’s rhetoric as they push for stricter gun control.”
