Opinion: Coddling white nationalists has deadly consequences
A memorial outside the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, Calif., on Sunday. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 29 at 9:45 AM The Post reports:
The Poway shooting occurred on the last day of Passover, a holiday celebrating Jewish freedom from persecution. The murderer is legally and morally responsible for his heinous actions. Nevertheless, Trump’s sins of omission and commission cannot be ignored. He denies that white nationalism is an international, growing threat; he continues to focus on Islamic terrorism to fire up his base although all domestic terrorist victims on his watch have been killed by white nationalists. His xenophobic and dehumanizing language about migrants that began with his campaign announcement in 2015 has never changed.
Rather than declare Biden’s focus on Charlottesville to be old news, maybe the other presidential candidates — and Congress, too — should speak with one voice. Trump may choose to wink and nod to white nationalists, but that should not mean our entire government is paralyzed.
