Calling the Minneapolis Church Murders a ‘Hate Crime’ Is a Far-Right Narrative – Twitchy

CNN continues its efforts to spin the fatal shooting of two children in a Minneapolis church by a ‘transgender’ gunman. On Thursday, the cable ‘news’ outlet brought on former D.C. Chief of Homeland Security Donell Harvin, who said that calling the murders a ‘hate crime’ was simply a far-right narrative.

Here he is. (WATCH)

That’s their scare phrase, “Far right”

Never changes.

It’s so tiring.

Everything that aligns with reality is always called a far-right narrative, according to CNN and its Democrat guests.

Harvin is no exception, as commenters point out.

Still member of the criminal-loving evil Democratic Party, no doubt.

Posters say that when a specific group is targeted, it only makes sense to label it a ‘hate crime.’

While I personally believe that all violent crimes are “hate crimes”, because you cannot brutally assault or commit homicide “out of love”-

When you go to a religious institution or target people of one race, ethnicity, or Faith- by the standard, it Must be called a hate crime.

So if a white Christian is targeted its automatically not a hate crime. But if its anyone else it is.

How safe was DC with this guy as chief of their Homeland Security and Intelligence?

— Texas Boomer (@marklindesr) August 28, 2025

He wanted Trump indicted and jailed. Tells you everything you need to know about this clown.

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 28, 2025

Basically, he’s part of an extremist group himself.

Commenters sarcastically observe that the so-called ‘far-fight narrative’ keeps stubbornly being on target.

Won’t someone please stop that darned narrative from making more accurate claims?

The guy actually said he was worried this was starting to be “politicized” — can’t make that sh*t up

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 28, 2025

I mean it’s not like the videos weren’t on YouTube.

— Dr. Michael Jones (@TruthorConseq12) August 28, 2025

CNN viewers likely have no idea what’s actually in the video.

The truth about what tragically went down in Minneapolis and why it happened is out there, but CNN is never going to share it with its shrinking audience.
