Current Events > GOP memo on shootings says downplay white nationalism, blame the left

(+) Yeah! (+)

Congressional Republicans recently circulated talking points on gun violence that falsely described the El Paso massacre and other mass shootings as violence from the left.
A document obtained by the Tampa Bay Times and sent by House Republicans provides a framework for how to respond to anticipated questions like, Why wont you pass legislation to close the gun show loophole in federal law? and Why shouldnt we ban high-capacity magazines?" The answers are boilerplate Republican arguments against tougher gun restrictions.
But it also included this question: Do you believe white nationalism is driving more mass shootings recently? The suggested response is to steer the conversation away from white nationalism to an argument that implies both sides are to blame.
White nationalism and racism are pure evil and cannot be tolerated in any form," the document said. We also cant excuse violence from the left such as the El Paso shooter, the recent Colorado shooters, the Congressional baseball shooter, Congresswoman Giffords shooter and Antifa."

Literally "we must defend our kind (white nationalists) but pretend we don't like them too", this a fucking outrage.
