SPLC distances itself from #Alexandria shooter, prays for victims (including the one in its Hatewatch file)

First things first, to make it absolutely clear: the person responsible for pulling the trigger at Wednesday morning’s practice session of the Republican congressional baseball team is the shooter himself.

That said, it’s not surprising that Sen. Bernie Sanders wasted no time in disavowing the support of his former volunteer, nor that the Southern Poverty Law Center also wanted to put some distance between itself andJames T. Hodgkinson.

But they won't eat it. Self-righteous progressives are never wrong in their own minds.

Now that Mark Hemingway mentions it, the SPLC has made quite a lot of hay pointing the finger at conservatives for inspiring violence. Here’s SPLC President Richard Cohen who authored the statement above telling Joy Reid not two weeks ago that Trump needs to take responsibility for the “virus of hate” he’s unleashed.
