In an article in The Atlantic, Adam Serwer describes how Trump's lies and creation of hysteria about the "caravan" headed to the United States from countries south caused the Pittsburgh gunman to shot and kill 11 people yesterday at a synagogue.
"As for those who aided the president in his propaganda campaign, who enabled him to prey on racist fears to fabricate a national emergency, those who said to themselves, “This is the play”? Every single one of them bears some responsibility for what followed. Their condemnations of anti-Semitism are meaningless. Their thoughts and prayers are worthless. Their condolences are irrelevant. They can never undo what they have done, and what they have done will never be forgotten."
But
of course, from the top of the hierarchies they create, these
Republicans will not take responsibility for their actions, and feel
they never have to.
