On Thursday, after the mass murder at UCC, President Obama said that the shootings should be politicized. We’ll have to wait and see if the White House ever feels the need to politicize terrible news like this:

Tragic. And yet:
No press conference or photo op of President's exasperated expression staring at TV screen. https://t.co/t1kdTUPwZb

That's not possible because Chicago has strict gun control laws. https://t.co/M58geFdNpX

It takes away from the liberal narrative, and as such isn’t worthy of being “politicized” by the president, apparently.
