Frequent MS NOW contributor Wajahat Ali still has a bug up his butt about Vice President JD Vance speaking at a Turning Point USA event, and it seems to be about white people and Christianity. As I wrote about earlier, The Washington Post noted how the Trump administration had been sending out "overtly sectarian" Christmas messages, and The New York Post also took notice of President Donald Trump emphasizing religious messages that feature "overtly religious language."
Republicans Against Trump reposted this video from The Bulwark, so you know that the Never Trump crowd thought that this snippet from Vance's address made him look evil (they're already starting the narrative that he's worse than Trump).
JD Vance: "If you miss Charlie Kirk…do you promise to take the country back from the people who took his life?"

Take the country back?

"Do you promise to help defeat the radicals who cheered his death?" Vance asks. "Do you promise to take the country back from the people who took his life?"
Ali thought that was a strange selling point, as Kirk was assassinated by a white man from a 'Christian' family.
A white man from a Christian family killed Charlie Kirk. Weird sales pitch. https://t.co/b5dShwegSd

He also came from a Trump-supporting family, remember? Tyler Robinson was a white Christian Trump supporter, according to the Left.
Taking our country back from radical leftists whose political beliefs lead them to murder Christian conservatives doesn't seem like a weird sales pitch from a republican vice president.
family was mormon not Christian

Are Mormons considered Christian?

That's a religious debate I won't get into here, but it's worth noting. Maybe Vance was saying we need to take back the country from Mormons.
The murderer was white and his family Christian, but he himself was one of your ilk.

Weird to not understand the man had abandoned the beliefs of his family and Christianity.

JD never said anything about race or religion.

And your point?
The guy was a furry with a troon lover that loathed Kirk’s stance on LGBTQ issues but, somehow, the relevant fact is that his parents are Mormons. A+ logic pic.twitter.com/lkGh8Kv8Kd

Yes. The shooter was also a Trump supporter 🤦🏼♀️

He’s talking about the radical left. Duh if you can’t keep up, don’t play.

It's amazing how many people in the replies to Republicans Against Trump buy into Jimmy Kimmel's belief that Kirk was assassinated by "one of his own." And yes, Vance was talking about the radical left. People so far left that they cheered the murder of a conservative on a college campus. All of the Tyler Robinson fans out there. That's who we have to take the country back from.
Deal with it.
