Fox News Contributor Links Charleston Shooting To Abortion Rights, Downplays Hate Crime Aspect

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 6/18/2015 12:20 pm

This morning, Fox News hosts have been heavily playing down the racial hate crime aspect of the shooting at an African Methodist Episcopal church in Charleston, South Carolina, instead suggesting that the shooting was just another case of anti-Christian persecution in America, a recurring theme on the network. Law enforcement has labeled the shooting a hate crime, and the white shooter reportedly told his black victims: “You rape our women and you’re taking over our country. And you have to go.” Fox News contributor Alveda King, a conservative activist with the group Priests for Life, appeared on “Fox & Friends” this morning where she linked the shooting to abortion rights: “You kill babies in the womb, kill people in their beds, shoot people on the streets so now you go into the church when people are praying.”

Those people are not dead because they went to church. They were not murdered because they were Christians. This was not an act of Christian persecution.

I want to make clear that this is my opinion only- However, I think that shortly we will all find out that this murderer was deeply involved in religion himself and that his actions were heavily influenced by it.
