In letter writer Irving Brenner’s letter to the editor on Monday, Sept. 22, in the Daily Journal he disparages Republicans, Trump, even recently assassinated political activist Charlie Kirk and proceeds to lecture us to what he terms as the “selective outrage” Republicans have if the victim(s) are Republican.
Literally, all the print and television news I’ve read or watched be it national or local showed an equal outrage for Mr. Kirk’s assassination among both parties and an equal concern of how to stop it. Yet Irving Brenner feels differently than what has been reported in the news and does, in my opinion, what a cold-blooded left-leaning person does in tragedies like this and tries to change the narrative to it being right-wing hateful rhetoric. Once again Irving Brenner uses the word “hypocrisy” in his criticism of Republicans but commits the same hypocrisy by asking people “to get past this tragic event” and then spews the same hateful rhetoric toward the right wing in his letter.
The bottom line is this country is heading toward more terrible acts like Charlie Kirk’s death and Irving Brenner’s inflammatory comments don’t help, but rather incites those who think like him to act violently.

Well written, Mr. Wackerman. Unfortunately, Mr. Brenner is perpetuating the hateful rhetoric spewed by far-left Democrats who are the voice of the party. What is interesting is that “regular” Democrats aren’t calling out these far left Democrats. Perhaps they’re afraid of being canceled and they’d rather stay silent, and complicit? Mr. Brenner and far-left Democrats have shown us who they are – let’s believe them and never forget.
