MSM Hypocrisy Alert! 

On today's CNN This Morning, Kasie Hunt bemoaned "the public partisan finger-pointing" over the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Hunt then proceeded to . . . point her finger at the victim, Trump!

Hunt did stop short of saying, "ya had it coming, Don." But Kasie did say:

"It is impossible to pull apart what we have seen from Donald Trump, the level of the rhetoric that he has injected into this campaign, and the actual events we have seen in terms of how the levels of violence in our political system have risen in recent years."

Then, the Wall Street Journal news team became the latest MSM member to join the keeping-clueless crowd when it came to the suspect's motive. 

Earlier this week, we caught Kasie claiming, "We obviously don't know very much at this point about a potential motive here. And we may never know about that." 

The following day, it was MSNBC's turn, with Jonathan Lemire on Morning Joe saying:

"We don't know what's in the mind of this suspected suspect arrested in Florida . . . There's sort of incoherent ideologies for [him and for the shooter in the first attempt.]"

CNN This Morning panelist Annie Linskey of the Wall Street Journal, said today:

"We don't know the motive of either one of these shooters, right? I mean, we just don't."

As we noted yesterday:

"There's nothing incoherent about Routh's ideology or his motives. He has used the Democrats' favorite line about "democracy on the ballot." Routh is a registered Democrat who has donated 19 times in recent years to Act Blue, the Democrats' main donation outfit. He has written of Trump, "I will be glad when you gone.”  

That should give Linskey and the rest of the clueless crowd . . . a clue.

Here's the transcript.

KASIE HUNT: This Annie, is one of these, the, the public partisan finger-pointing exploded right out of the gate in the wake of what we saw Sunday with Donald Trump.

And as you could see, J.D. Vance was going there, and saying that it's blaming Democrats for rhetoric that he says is escalating this.

But it does seem to me that it is impossible to pull apart what we have seen from Donald Trump, the level of the rhetoric that he has injected into this campaign, and the actual events we have seen in terms of how the levels of violence in our political system have risen in recent years.

ANNIE LINSKEY: Yeah, I mean, one thing to sort of, to be clear here, with the two incidents, and thank God, the Secret Service reacted as they did, and the former president was unharmed. We don't know the motive of either one of these shooters, right? I mean, we just don't.
