Before the suspect was identified, Joe Walsh -- radio host, ex-congressman, and Islamophobe -- tweeted this:
Killer used a car & a machete.
Looks like Muslim terror. A car & a knife is their modus operandi.
Ask Israel. https://t.co/LSfDy2rm4p

Donald Trump won the presidency three weeks ago. He was a dangerous demagogue as a candidate for a year and a half before that, and a divisive blowhard from the time he became a regular Fox commentator in 2011. But this is the first breaking news event since Trump became president-elect that offers him the clear choice of responsible leadership or racism directed at an entire group of people. He's not speaking as a celebrity turned amateur pundit anymore, nor is he a fluke presidential candidate running as a longshot -- now he's speaking for America, and his words will give us a sense of how the U.S. government will respond over the next four (or eight) years at moments like this.
I'm expecting the worst. I'm expecting group slander and calls for collective punishment. I'm expecting him to make no effort to warn off vigilantes or hatemongers. It's going to be ugly.

Daesh are the bad guys, people who agree with them are. Does this mean going into a school and shooting the kids up is a "white person thing"?
I say that as a white person... and as someone who was somewhat close to the attack today.

He put two and two together and came up with five.

(3,032 posts)5. Oh, I think Joe Walsh was capable of being an ass before this...
The second post is irrelevant until Trump responds in the way the blogger SPECULATES.
For now, Obama is still president, no matter what Joe Walsh might want.
