Trump has also despicably ginned up fears of Muslims after ISIS inspired attacks but has been silent when people plan to or actually kill Muslims. For example after the June 3 terror attack on the London Bridge, the very next morning Trump tweeted three times about the attack, for example: “We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse.” Trump even slammed the Muslim Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, clearly taking his words out of context.
But then last night we saw an attack by 48 year-old white man Darren Osborne who reportedly yelled “I'm going to kill all Muslims” when driving his van into a group of Muslims exiting a local mosque in the Finsbury section of London. As of now one person is dead and many injured. British Prime Minister Theresa May declared in response that “this was a terror attack on Muslims near their place of worship,” adding that it was “every bit as sickening” as the recent terrorist attacks on London Bridge and in Manchester.
So did Trump tweet about this attack like he did with the London Bridge attack? Of course not. Muslims lives only matter to Trump when he can demonize us for political gain. Instead Trump sent out two tweets Monday morning, one urging people to watch his lawyer on Fox News, which he oddly deleted. And then a tweet about the special congressional election in Georgia tomorrow.
But this is expected. Trump didn’t comment on his personal Twitter account after a white supremacist terrorist killed two people in Portland in May for standing up to his anti-Muslim tirade. We didn’t see Trump tweet last week when right-wing white terrorist Robert Doggart was sentenced to 19 years and 10 months in a federal prison for plotting to kill Muslims in New York. Any doubt if Doggart had been Muslim and plotting to kill Christians Trump would have used that event to gin up fears of Muslims?
