For today’s “you can’t make this up” entry, here is an editorial in the Las Vegas Sun that’s attempting to link Quintez Brown, the BLM and anti-gun activist accused of the attempted murder of a Jewish Dem running for Mayor of Louisville, to “violent rhetoric coming from extremist Republicans:
The alleged shooter, a 21-year-old political activist, was arrested near the scene and later charged with attempted murder along with four counts of wanton endangerment.
While there’s been no indication yet that the activist had ties to any right-wing organizations, the shooting comes amid a rise in threats against politicians fueled by increasingly violent rhetoric coming from extremist Republicans.
The New York Times documented this trend in a story last week based on a review of more than 75 indictments related to threats against lawmakers since 2016.
“Holy f*ck” is this bad:
Holy f*ck, @LasVegasSun. This editorial was written after the alleged shooter, Quintez Brown, was identified as a left-wing BLM activist. https://t.co/oZ2lEl71Lq pic.twitter.com/JG9Td1kQ5d
