“Continuous Insanity”: Syrian Dissident Yassin al-Haj Saleh on 12 Years of War & Earthquake Relief

This is yet another consequence of the racist and xenophobic rhetoric espoused by right-wing talking heads. While the GOP may not have pulled the trigger, its support of dangerous conspiracy theories — such as the Great Replacement theory — undoubtedly sowed the seeds that fomented the hatred behind this — and many other — tragedies. It's time the far-right tones down its anti-immigrant stance.

Before pointing their fingers at conservatives, liberals — who notoriously take advantage of minorities every election cycle — should acknowledge their own hypocrisy.
