Playing The Hate Card

Over the weekend, President Joe Biden condemned the murders of four Muslim men in New Mexico. He said:

"I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque. . . my Administration stands strongly with the Muslim community. These hateful attacks have no place in America."

While we can all agree that violent crime is inexcusable, I don’t recall seeing any statement from Biden condemning the violence in Chicago last weekend in which 54 people were shot and eight people were killed. 

Does his administration not stand with the minority community in Chicago? He certainly isn’t saying anything about it, much less doing anything about it. But I digress.

His comments on the New Mexico murders were just another example of how quick the left is to play the race card and the hate crimes card. I suspect Biden and other leftists were eagerly jumping to conclusions about these murders and who might be responsible – you know, some “knuckle-dragging, Islamophobic MAGA type.”

Well, New Mexico police have a suspect in custody now and the left’s narrative has totally fallen apart. It turns out that the suspect is an Afghan Sunni Muslim who appears to have been targeting Shiite Muslims. 

I predict you won’t hear much more about this story.
