if Robert Dear and a partner had carried out the attack on Planned Parenthood, Republicans would still refuse to call it an act of terror, they would still not blame all Christians. Republicans would call Robert Dear and his partner LONE WOLVES.

Republicans only recognize acts of terror carried out by followers of radical Islam. They refuse to acknowledge acts of terror carried out by followers of radical Christianity (because it's their own people who are carrying out those acts).
