“It’s now a death sentence to fly a rainbow flag in America.” That was one left-wing TikToker’s reaction to the disturbing death of Laura Ann Carleton, a California woman recently killed in a violent altercation over a pride flag that she flew outside her workplace.
star Rainn Wilson. “The atmosphere of hate and violence, fueled by political rhetoric, is literally killing people.”. “Every anti-LGBTQ politician, bigoted pundit, and right-wing hate monger has Laura Carleton’s blood on their hands.”Having an emotional reaction to such a tragedy is completely understandable. But weaponizing a horrific crime to attack people who disagree with you is not — especially when you do so in a way that actually lets the killer off the hook.
This is actually grossly offensive. And it’s deeply depressing that our political atmosphere is so hyperpolarized that prominent figures will make excuses for a killer in order to attack their political opponents. Of course, they’d never want this twisted “logic” applied to their own side. Don’t forget, there have been many examples of far-left extremists engaging in violence, too. Just a few years ago, a deranged Bernie Sanders supporter tried to assassinate Republican politicians, including Rep. Steve Scalise and Sen. Rand Paul.
Was that the fault of Sanders or his Democrat allies? After all, Sanders has accused Republicans of “killing people” with their policies, including by simply cutting taxes, a claim as inflammatory and dishonest as anything anti-LGBT politicians say about the gay community. Nope. Bernie Sanders is not even 0.1% to blame for that attack. Neither is Nancy Pelosi or anyone else on the Left, no matter how inflammatory their rhetoric sometimes is. But, according to the logic progressives are using to weaponize this latest hate crime, they would need to accept blame for this and many other atrocities.We live in a country of 330 million people. As sad as it may be, there will always be outlying incidents and horrific crimes in a nation as large and diverse as ours.
