Jeb Bush: “I don't know what was on the mind or heart of man who committed these atrocious crimes"

from Tampa Bay Times:

Bush, who launched his presidential campaign on Monday, began the speech with a remembrance of the victims in the Charleston church shooting. He was to campaign in the city on Thursday but canceled.

“I don't know what was on the mind or heart of the man who committed these atrocious crimes but I do know what was in the heart of the victims. They were meeting in brotherhood and sisterhood in that church ... they were praying, they were learning and studying the word of the Lord.

"In times of great national mourning, people of faith, all of us, must come together and at least reflect on this and fortify our strength, love Christ, love of God, to be able to continue to go forth. This has had a big impact on me."

...no discussion or remark on the issue of race? The killings were admitted by the shooter to be racially motivated. Waiting for more deflections from this man.

...very similar to the FOX news framing which centers more on the church than the openly racist remarks from the shooter to his victims and in his confession, as well.
