Leaked Memo Reveals GOP Strategy for Mass Shootings: Minimize White Supremacy, Blame Left



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.


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.

The Tampa Bay Times has the scoop:

You know...I really, really wish I could say thus surprises me. But it doesn't.

We could have a mass shooting where everything the killer (a 23 year old white guy) wore was MAGA gear, he was on film screaming "Rapists and murderers!", "Build that wall!", "Trump 2020!" repeatedly, we could have live footage of him in custody yelling that "President Trump said it was okay to kill them!", and the GOP would still try to blame it on the Left or Antifa.

Well you know if the left wasn't trying to change so much these fine young men wouldn't feel the need to be spurred to action like they are!

Doesnt sound like its being minimized at all. Sounds more like some people are upset that other political aspects they may not like are also being mentioned.

You mean theyre deflecting away from the actual facts of the shooting in order to blame Democrats

But of course you dont understand whats wrong with that


I feel like the admiral does understand this. He just agrees with it.

A lot of whataboutism and deflection in that memo, but I don't see anywhere that even hints at minimizing white supremacy.

Not exactly sure how you're jumping to that conclusion, especially with "white supremacy is wrong" being literally in the text.

Seems more like they're minimizing the association between white supremacy and the GOP, and in that case you're probably right. The GOP obviously wants to pretend like this racism uprising thing isn't deeply embedded in their party, when it obviously is.

Well of course. Admiral certainly isn't known for rational or non-bigoted political thoughts, heh.
