Excerpt:
In a public forum, a left-wing activist is shot while advocating for the right of men who identify as women to compete in women’s sports.
The suspected shooter has a conservative ideology, and is in a romantic relationship with a woman who is an activist working to prevent men from competing against women.
Think Morning Joe would argue that the shooter’s motives don’t really matter, and that we should focus instead on other issues? Rhetorical question.
But when the tables are turned . . .
Utah Governor Spencer Cox, someone Morning Joe has praised, has stated that Tyler Robinson has a “leftist ideology,” and was in a romantic relationship with a male transitioning to female. And at the moment Robinson allegedly shot him, Charlie Kirk was discussing shootings by trans people.
So, shouldn’t we delve deeply into Robinson’s motives, and consider their cultural and political implications?
Nope, says MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire. On today’s Morning Joe, MSNBC’s Lemire argued that Tyler Robinson’s motives “almost shouldn’t matter.” Isn’t Lemire a “news” reporter? Facts don’t matter?
