The Vaguenator strikes again! So, next time someone asks me "what's wrong?"
I'll just say "mosques and synagagues."

Racial motivation & political motivation are 2 different motivators. Besides,
this argument is about "violent rhetoric from conservatives causing political
violence." This bombing you're talking about isn't political and there's no
"conservative rhetoric" involved with it, and it happened like 60 years ago.

White supremacy isn't a political issue. You lost your argument.

Who from "the right" is it that "tried to blame Floyd?" Are you talking about
Chauvin's lawyers? Lawyers aren't from the right.
