J'accuse! . . . Fox News and Trump: blood dripping from their hands

As CNN notes

Bowers blamed Jews for helping 'invaders' in the migrant caravans claiming Jews were helping transport members of the migrant caravans in Latin America. He shared a video that another Gab.com user posted, purportedly of HIAS, a Jewish refugee support group, on the US-Mexico border.

In another post, Bowers described HIAS' overall efforts as, "sugar-coated evil."

He believed that those in the migrant caravans were violent because they were attempting to leave countries that had high levels of violence. And Bowers repeatedly called them “invaders.”



Yet, as The Hill notes: "President Trump on Monday called a caravan of Central American migrants heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border an "invasion" and pledged to use the military to stop people from entering the U.S."




Even after knowing that describing the immigrants as invaders was the trigger that set off Robert Bowers resulting in the murder of eleven people, Trump continues to use the term and Fox News Channel continues to cover the caravan breathlessly and hourly.

Even after knowing this, they double down with OUR lives!

Whereas before they were, perhaps, unwitting accomplices to murder, now with full awareness they continue their ethically criminal activity. The next time they will be accomplices to murder with full knowledge and tacit approval.

However, it's really Trump Sponsored News. Leave the State out of it. They are not a free press...they are a sponsored press...by the current Tea Party Cretins.

When sanity returns to government, will they still remain? They should slither back to the pond scum, from whence they came.
