The Left and our good, sweet, sincere friends in the media spent most of Saturday after the tragic shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue trying to find a way to blame Trump for the monster who killed 11 innocent people and wounded six others. Even though the gunman reportedly hated Trump and blamed him for supporting the Jewish people, somehow, someway Trump was labeled an anti-Semite.
We know, it’s stupid.
What’s even the theory supposed to be that Trump is an anti-Semite?
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) October 27, 2018
Well, Trump beat Hillary … that’s enough doncha know.
Matthew Dowd answered:
Rich, are you acting dumb on purpose? This shooter was anti-refugee and anti-immigrant. And he was obsessed with HIAS, a group involved in settling refugees, which this synagogue in Pittsburg was involved. Who do you know has been anti-immigrant and refugee???
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 27, 2018
OMG. Trump has not been ANTI-IMMIGRANT … please, Lefties, stop pretending illegal immigrants and immigrants are the same things. SERIOUSLY.
Please, Matt. The president didn’t make this scumbag an anti-Semitic kook. Trump obviously says many things he shouldn’t and no president should. That doesn’t make him an anti-Semite or mean he’s inciting people to mass murder

Reality. ^
Brit Hume jumped in.
And that makes Trump an anti-semite?
— Brit Hume (@brithume) October 28, 2018
In Matthew’s small little mind it seems to.
Didn’t say that, he has fomented much of this with his vitriol and hate speech towards many Americans and immigrants. You must see that and see his responsibility in that.
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 28, 2018
Actually, Matthew, you did say that.
Oh Matt just stop. You were responding to a tweet that was about one thing and one thing only: whether Trump is an anti-semite.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) October 28, 2018
*popcorn*
Brit, you would do well in this moment to call a meeting at Fox News and figure out the responsibility you all have in this moment as well.
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 28, 2018
This editor is starting to be grateful Matthew blocked her when she called him out for being a schmuck to Mary Katharine Ham.
Matt, you can’t defend your response to Rich, so you accuse Fox News of complicity in today’s murders. That’s simply insane.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) October 28, 2018
Insane? Try batsh*t CRAZY.
Then David French entered the ‘fray’:
Matt that's deeply unfair to accuse Fox of any complicity in murders by people of that ilk. These horrifying anti-Semites have been lurking in the dark corners of our national world since before Fox was founded. They take their views from things like Mein Kampf not Fox News.
— David French (@DavidAFrench) October 28, 2018
David, i am speaking about the atmosphere of hate and division in America today. How can you not say Fox News hasn’t been responsible for good portion of that? look at what they have pushed on the caravan of refugees, which the guy in Pittsburg said was main reason he was angry
— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 28, 2018
This effin’ guy.
His mental instability is quite alarming.
It's more than TDS, far more. https://t.co/JNLUNMDqrZ— Sandy appreciates you! (@RightGlockMom) October 28, 2018
Word.
This is very irresponsible. I predict an apology within 24 hours. https://t.co/p3altZP2ID
— cosmoscon (@gdthomp01) October 28, 2018
Matthew should DEFINITELY apologize for this vile take, but we all know he won’t.
