Matthew Dowd: Trump’s Rhetoric Gave ‘Permission’ to Synagogue Killer

RUSH EXCERPT:

DOWD: "Well, there’s all kinds of data that shows over the last few years there’s a huge rise of radical white extremism in America and it’s actually a much bigger problem within America than radical Islam but spend vast amounts more in manpower and police work related to radical Islam than we do to what’s going on in America. First we have it address that problem and this is reflective of that. Second, we have to have a real conversation. This was another example where guns are involved in America and all of these shootings where there’s access to guns and what we can do — as a gun owner, I own five guns myself. Most gun owners believe we have to do something about guns. Three, I think the president needs to at some point look in the mirror and under stand the rhetoric he uses plays a big part and give permission to the most craziest, not that the president is responsible but his rhetoric adds to that and needs to reflect on that. Now that we’re having these shootings not only in public places and concerts and where parties are, we’re having them in synagogues and moves and Christian churches."
