Fox & Friends Ridicules Media for Blaming Synagogue Shooter on Trump: 'He Didn't Own a MAGA Hat'

by Caleb Ecarma | Oct 29th, 2018, 8:53 am

The hosts of Fox & Friends ridiculed the media for, in part, blaming President Donald Trump’s rhetoric for the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania synagogue shooting on Friday.

“I was just stunned to see how quick everyone was blaming the president and his tone for what happened,” Brian Kilmeade said on Fox News this morning. “It’s just crazy to make that leap and get politics into this.”

The show then played a montage of news clips showing anchors condemning the president’s comments on “globalists” and Jewish billionaire George Soros — which critics often describe as antisemitic — as well as Trump’s typical heated rhetoric against Democrats and the media.

“This guy, the shooter, hated Trump because he thought the president was a globalist, he did not vote for him, he never owned a MAGA hat, and yet you saw that kinda reaction all day yesterday,” Steve Doocy added, paraphrasing Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr.

No, it's not politics, it's not white nationalism or neo Nazism. Move along, nothing to see here!

Once again, Fox & Friends fails to surprise with its self-generated galactic stupidity.

Do all the trump supporting GOP suddenly realize they where wrong and get right with truth?

Do Dems take over but leave the festering puss sore on the right still percolating?

Is there a civil war and one side is eliminated?

We have to be very careful here. The RIGHT is dead ok with eliminating the left. You see hints of this even in other countries.

Im just not sure where this ends.
