I reject the disgusting and un-American display that fueled it. This is the predictable consequence of the increasing political provocations that have fanned the flames of racist hate. Failing to acknowledge that obvious fact, or pretending that everyone shares responsibility for this tragedy, is sheer deception. It is past time for our national leaders starting with our President to take a strong stand against bigotry and condemn hate speech before it turns violent. Anything less is a cowardly abdication of our solemn obligation to the people who elected us. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
