Members of the media and their allies on the left should look in the mirror-or at least take a moment for the country to mourn tragedy-before blaming violence and incivility on President Donald Trump and conservatives in general.
The media was quick to blame these incidents on the president, saying that he has created a climate of hate and fear that is producing these kinds of incidents.
Progressive columnist Paul Krugman wrote in The New York Times: "All of these hate crimes seem clearly linked to the climate of paranoia and racism deliberately fostered by Donald Trump and his allies in Congress and the media."
After all these accusations that conservatives are to blame for violence in America, the media suddenly clams up when a hate-filled person on the left engages in violence.
In an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said that the shooter shouted, "This is for health care!" as he opened fire, a fact that received little media attention.
Alas, the media ensures that prominent members of the left never have to account for what they say-or don't say.
Vicious and hateful attacks on Republican presidents and conservatives go back for years, as do excuses for open anti-Semites in left-wing ranks-but Trump has been far more effective at cutting through media attacks and turning them back on his political opponents.
