Rather than condemning violence and calling for unity, the president of the United States accused his political opposition of being accessories to murder.

Oops, time to change the lies:
MAGA Makes Dramatic Shift After Identity of Killer Surfaces
When the facts didn't match their narrative, Trump and his allies scrambled to rewrite the story.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who just yesterday was on TV ranting about a supposed "Democrat leftist tranny plot," suddenly struck a different tone. Now she tells us that we need to pray for the killer. She says Kirk would have wanted us to extend forgiveness. Really? That's a remarkable change of heart, considering that before the facts came out, Mace was smearing entire communities with grotesque slurs.
Fox News also scrambled. When it became undeniable that Robinson wasn't the boogeyman they wished for, they reached for the next scapegoat: college. Yes, the same Fox News whose hosts rant nightly about "Marxist professors" tried to pin Robinson's violence on one semester at Utah State. Never mind that he spent the last few years in an electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College, not exactly a hub of left-wing radicalization. They needed a villain, and higher education was the easiest straw man.
