When earlier this evening I pushed back against Rudy Giuliani's traditional appellation of "madman"
The madman who attacked the Chabad in Poway, CA described @realDonaldTrump as traitorous and a Zionist because he has been the best President for Israel ever. The left media blaming the attack on him have reached the point of pathological hatred. They are disgraceful.— Rudy Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) April 30, 2019
it was not to defend Earnest, merely to remind everyone that we need to stop engaging in lazy recoils. Earnest may have exhibited sociopathic tendencies for a significant length of time before New Zealand served as his trigger, just as Michael may have been engaging in behavior indicative of a cry for help before his alleged exploits. Labeling it, as Caitlin Flanagan does, as something beyond conception, is a mistake. Omnivorous primates all have an emotional range and degree, well adjusted or not so able to cope, even if we concede the former mayor, who's been blunt before, is attempting to shield Trump from blame. The president is responsible, certainly, for his bully tenor, but placing liability on his doorstep for heinous spree kills goes a bridge too far. Nothing in his candidacy or his excise of duty as commander in chief suggests he thinks slaughter in places of worship is beneficial.
