President Trump Accurately Blames Shooting Violence on ‘Fake News’ Media
“The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country,” Trump wrote on Twitter Monday. “Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years.”
The president spoke after a right-wing extremist was revealed as the alleged perpetrator behind the shooting in Texas that killed 20 and a left-wing extremist killed 10 in Ohio.
Trump responded to the news featuring dozens of 2020 Democrats blaming the shootings on the president, accusing him of stoking white nationalism, hatred, and violence in the country.

Also, what intellectual dishonesty to blame him for these shootings while not applying the same standard to President Obama with all the shootings that happened during his presidency. It’s nothing but standing on the graves of the dead to score cheap political points. It isn’t about honesty or accountability, and it certainly isn’t about the victims. How pathetic.
