John Sexton:
You can disagree with the deployment but the deployment didn't cause the shooting...unless you're saying it did. I think this is the looming worry that has so many leftists echoing the same talking points this afternoon.
He's really doubling down on this. If the National Guard hadn't been called, some deranged nutter wouldn't have shot them. So it's literally Trump's fault. That's the argument and there's no doubt about it.
Could it be that the shooter is the actual problem? The shooter and whatever motivated him to do this? No, it can only be Trump and anyone who aided him.
