Jake Tapper seems to be more concerned about using the correct pronouns for the Minneapolis shooter than he is about the actual mass shooting. It's such a strange flex to go this route, but then again, when they can't find a way to blame Trump or Republicans, they have to do what they can with what they have.
And they really have so very, very little.
Also, who gives a flying eff what the monster who killed two little kids wanted to be called, Jake?
NEW - JAKE TAPPER: We need to make sure we use the correct pronouns for the Minneapolis Catholic church sh-oter.

Justine Bateman was more than happy to shut Tapper down entirely.
How about when you murder people, you no longer get a pronoun at all. https://t.co/SmclNAPzKB

That seems fair to us.
I am all for “it” in the case of every mass shooter.

We hope Tapper is taking notes.
This is good stuff.
