A journalist was killed by a Democrat politician in Las Vegas. This was a tiny blip in the news of the day. Imagine, if you will, that a Republican politician had killed a journalist.

Just imagine the news if that happened. Who’s fault would it really be? Not the guy who killed him silly. It would be Trump’s fault. Obvi!!!

They’d be playing and replaying every single time Trump said anything about journalists and pointing to that as leading to Republicans feeling animosity towards journalists and directly to this killing.

This would be a national story with every talking head talking all day about how MAGA was responsible for the death of this journalist. And then their favorite part, all the journalists would get to talk about how hard it is to be a journalist – which is, of course, their favorite subject.

In short, the death of this journalist will not be discussed because his death doesn’t serve the narrative. If only he’d been killed by a Republican he would’ve been a national hero.
