ABC News Earns a Ratio for Spin on What Could Have Motivated the DC Terrorist – Twitchy

As expected, the Democrats are getting plenty of help from their media allies when it comes to spinning stories about the terrorist who is charged with shooting two members of the National Guard in Washington, DC, killing one of them. 

ABC News has helpfully published a story about the real victim in all this: The Afghan national who pulled the trigger: 

As investigators continue to delve into what may have motivated the suspect in the deadly National Guardsmen shooting last week, a portrait of a life of increasing financial stress and a potential mental health crisis has emerged, sources told @ABC News. https://t.co/jFUreCFDMQ

Sure, ABC, everybody who’s facing increasingly financial stress decides to drive all the way across the country to shoot members of the National Guard. 

Good to see you all found the real victim in the National Guard shooting…

… It’s the shooter. 🤦‍♂️

Predictably pathetic.

The terrorist is the victim and according to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz the shooting is Trump’s fault. Forget that it was the Biden administration that brought thousands and thousands into the country unvetted. 

He was radicalized by Trump Deranged Democratic lawmakers in America

Are you sure it didn’t have anything to do with the left demonizing the Nat guard as Trump’s Gestapo? Calling them Nazis? Suggesting that they are a threat to everything America is and they should be resisted? You don’t think that had anything to do with it?

He shouted his motivation:
Allahu Akbar

You’re worthless. https://t.co/vwK54EzyJw

This kind of rhetoric is mentioned ZERO times in ABC’s story about what could have been a possible motivating factor: 

The “Seditious Six” and other Dems at least deserved a mention in ABC’s story for their insane rhetoric about ICE, law enforcement and Guard deployment, but of course that was a “journalism” bridge too far.
