The Associated Press’s headline proclaimed, “Gunman who shot congressman had no target in mind.”

James T. Hodgkinson, 66, was shot and killed by police after he opened fire on Congressional Republicans practicing for their annual charity baseball game against Democrats last week. Rep. Steve Scalise of Lousiana, the House majority whip, was struck in the hip and gravely wounded. Scalise remains hospitalized, and his condition was upgraded to fair on Wednesday. All five people who were shot, including two U.S. Capitol police officers, survived their injuries.
The AP does some linguistic gymnastics of what the FBI said in their press conference. The FBI made clear the shooter was having personal problems, had anger issues, and hated Republicans. They also made it clear they haven’t finished their investigation, and couldn’t officially determine motive.
The AP then attempts to paint the shooter as a guy who’s life wasn’t going well, and so he randomly snapped at a park and shot strangers.
He may not have had a specific individual in mind, but he absolutely targeted Republicans. The FBI has to avoid conclusions before an investigation is concluded, but the Associated Press is just being silly.

AFLC Senior Counsel David Yerushalmi said, “This dismissal was yet another AFLC victory against CAIR and its jihadi lawfare against patriotic Americans across the country. This victory follows on the heels of a recent victory against CAIR in a Michigan federal court where CAIR’s subpoenas were quashed and CAIR’s nefarious client sanctioned for abusive practices.”
However, a United States District Court judge dismissed the case this month. Judge Beth Bloom said CAIR did not prove its members were harmed by the gun store’s policy.
