Re: How J Kimmel's quote is being characterized. I don't understand ... [View all]
As an example, I just listened to Are Melber's coverage of this. He accurately quoted Kimmel, "... new lows, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can (sic) to score political points from it." He immediately went on to say that this quote, "... includes what sounds like an inaccurate reference to the shooter ..."
Am I wrong that Kimmel (apparently) did NOT accuse the shooter of being MAGA, or even suggest that he might be. The way I'm hearing it, he merely said that the MAGA crowd at large has been looking for any way possible to characterize the shooter as not only *not* on the right politically, but to characterize him as a 'left wing lunatic' before any solid information was even reported, and extrapolate from that to demonize all liberals ... i.e., score political points to the point they're almost referring to the Democratic party as a terrorist organization. In other words, it seems to me that J Kimmel's quote above is an accurate observation.
But every commentator I've heard on MSNBC has been covering this almost exactly like A Melber, above. It's kind of driving me nuts.
What am I missing?
