Editor,
Everyone should be appalled by the Charlie Kirk shooting but the selective outrage of Republicans is full-blown hypocrisy. When a national tragedy occurs, they idolize Republican victims while dehumanizing Democratic victims.

I think the fault is in the stars, in this case the mass media that follows the dictates of the AP.
Here we go again…Mr. Brenner’s full-blown hypocrisy in blaming Republicans for hateful rhetoric from Democrats. Your selective outrage is noted and immediately dismissed. After all, one can quickly go to YouTube and review footage of Eric Schmitt’s recent questioning of Kash Patel where Schmitt highlights the violence committed by the left targeting conservatives, Christians, Trump supporters and random citizens. To wit…
Congressional baseball practice shooting
Summer of Love riots
Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre
Lee Zeldin stabbing attempt
Covenant School shooting (Nashville)
Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump
Trump International West Palm Beach assassination attempt
Abundant Life Christian School shooting
United Care CEO’s murder
Tesla firebombing and attacks
Murders at Israeli Embassy
ICE facilities firebombed
Minnesota Catholic school shooting
Anti-white stabbing in Charlotte, NC
Utah News firebombing attempt
Perhaps you can convince Democrats to tamp down their rhetoric but I’m not surprised the small Democrat minority controlling the party doubles and triples down on their hateful rhetoric. Are some Democrats cowed into submission because they’re afraid rhetoric will begin targeting them? The folks that hate America have shown us who they are – we should believe them and hold them accountable. Have a Trump-tastic day!
