He is a White Supremacist so Why is the Media Only talking About Mental health

[thomhartmann]

Republicans and the usual collection of gun lobby shills are again talking about mental health, this time after having just taken away healthcare from many Americans. What makes this especially interesting, is that Cruz is a white supremacist... so why is the media only talking about mental health instead of white supremacy?

4. Because they are echoing what dear leader tweeted today:

onald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
So many signs that the Florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled from school for bad and erratic behavior. Neighbors and classmates knew he was a big problem. Must always report such instances to authorities, again and again!

5. If he was a Muslim or an immigrant from Mexico you can bet

everyone would be crowing about it.

9. White terrorist is simply not a terrorist. Very simple.

Why are white supremacist groups even allowed to exist? Freedom of speech should not include freedom to advocate ethnic genocide.

I recall a world war waged and won exactly to get rid of this scum...but here they are in all their glory again...all legal.

What was the point of getting rid of Nazis, at the cost of tens of millions of lives, for starters, if Nazis are allowed to organize again??

6. so technically he is not mentallt ill, he is a terrorist

white supremacists and nazis are not mentally ill either. They understand exactly what they are doing. Hitler was not mentally ill. Dylan roof was not either.

8. You have to be brown to qualify as a terrorist.

7. True. Dems need to point this out in the media. The Repubs are shaping this story (mental health).nt

10. does the domestic terrorist data sheet have a box for color??

just wondering.....

11. GOP is mentally ill

Republicans cannot govern. They need to be put in padded cells and treated for their mental illness for a decade or three.

12. Because he's white

they will call him a lone wolf, a disturbed "boy" and never, ever utter the word terrorist.

I will call him a Right Wing Terrorist, because that is what he is.

13. One would have to be mentally ill to believe the master race can screw up so often

and so badly and still claim to be supreme over others.
