The problem isn’t gun violence. The problem isn’t easy access to assault weapons. According to a Trump campaign official, the real problems are Hillary Clinton and those liberals.
Stewart’s statement was more of the same old stuff from Republicans. While refusing to acknowledge the bigotry and racism of their presidential nominee, they accuse Hillary Clinton and liberals of the exact behavior that they are guilty of engaging in all through the presidency of Barack Obama.
Republicans are never going to take responsibility for the seeds of division that they have sown. They are not going to lift a finger to take action to prevent the epidemic of gun violence. What the Republican Party is going to is find a way to blame Hillary Clinton and liberals for the latest chapter in a growing national epidemic of senseless gun violence deaths.
Republicans won’t get away with blaming Hillary Clinton for Trump’s ugly behavior.
