trump is a vile demagogue whose racism and xenophobia have made the United States a dramatically more dangerous and threatening place. This is the uncomfortable reality that most Republicans would prefer not to discuss. On the Sunday morning after 22 men, women, and children in El Paso were killed by a white man who targeted Latinos and whose “manifesto” echoed Trump’s anti-immigrant hate speech.

“There was a time when the GOP establishment hated Donald Trump,” says Michigan Representative Justin Amash, a longtime Republican who has left the party out of disgust with Trump. “They then realized they could use a man like this—unprincipled, transactional, shameless—to push their agenda,” argues Amash. “[Senate Republican majority leader Mitch] McConnell and [House Republican minority leader Kevin] McCarthy are giddy about Trump. Conservatives in Congress are the ones privately horrified.”

The shooter was targeting whites.
 
Exactly. How is it a "Republican problem"? Does that mean AntiFA terrorism is a Democrat problem?
That's not the issue. The issue is that the 'rat Party has made up yet another narrative about Republicans to bolster their tired "racists-racist-racist" narrative. I don't accept their first premise so sure as hell won't accept another that builds on it.
 
I don't think you can blame any particular political party or politician for what these mass murderers did in El Paso or Dayton in my opinion. There are millions of people that disagree with the platforms of different political parties and its politicians and many of those millions of people get angry about policies and people pushing policies, however, choosing to murder people is a choice that belongs to the murderer and nobody else.

The difference is Trump panders to the white power types and urges them on. There are no Dems who back that tiny, tiny group of protesters. Antifa is not terrorism. I thought rightys were against Fascism too. I guess not.

Antifa practices both fascism and terrorism.
