18. It's not that. The problem is the race issue

More specifically within the white Christian community in this country and how many view themselves and others.

The ones that tried to kill Trump and did kill Kirk were all from their own community.

They weren't even from white liberal families. But from white MAGA families but they are unable to look at themselves. They can't even just blame the white guys that committed the acts itself.

They need to somehow blame some minorities for it.

Meghan Kelly blaming Obama who left office when the shooter was like 13 years old.
