Reckless: The Rush To Blame Trump for Maryland Newspaper Shooting Blew Up In The Left's Face

. . . "The rest of the media should have taken note. There was no drama, commentary, or jumping to conclusions with this story. The publication also had stories about the colleagues that they lost, which also served as a final goodbye  Still, plenty of anti-Trump folk on social media could not help but blame one person for this shooting: the president of the United States. No, I’m not kidding. Not shocking, I know—but it’s just totally unspooled. Ramos’ beef with The Capital stems back to 2011. In 2012, a defamation lawsuit was dismissed. All of this predated Trump as president, but it’s convenient. It’s reckless, and totally predictable that the Left stepped on a rake doing this. God bless Twitchy for doing this; I would go insane finding the worst of the worst on liberal Twitter. " . . .

There doesn't appear to be a connection to Trump's rhetoric based on what's available online by the Capital Gazette shooting suspect.

His bizarre feud with the paper goes back to at least 2011.

Read the vindictive comments here.

"It’s the age of Trump Derangement Syndrome, if you think the media, everyone really, would slow their roll on on stories like this in the Trump-era. Nope, not in the least bit, which ends up with the whole industry having egg on its face. When The New Republic notes this tragic and heinous shooting stemmed from the Obama-era days, you know a) it’s not Trump’s fault (so ridiculous we have to say this); and b) the Left stepped in it." . . .
