This was his pattern at the beginning of COVID. If we don’t let those infected people off the boat, they can’t be counted as COVID cases. I’m more concerned by the number of Americans who buy his sh*t.

"If we withhold the jobs report, there are no job losses"

"If we don't measure food insecurity, no one's hungry"

"If we delete right-wing violence research, there's no right-wing violence"

"If we don't release inflation data, there's no inflation"

Notice the pattern?

Mark’s comment here is very important. It doesn’t matter who these killers voted for, left or right. Evil is just evil no matter what your political persuasion.

The attacker on the LDS church in Michigan was a murderer. Who he voted for doesn’t matter. This kind of evil isn’t left or right — it’s just evil.

And to overcome it, we all have to reject it without pointing fingers.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
