The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This was a heinous attack on Idaho's firefighters and it's asked that everyone pray for their families. As people mourn during this difficult time and remain wary of the ongoing wildfire, respect should be paid to all those who commit their lives to the service of the American people.

Establishment-critical narrative

This is yet another example of guns killing Americans. The list is too long to count — time and time again excuses are made for continued gun violence. Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise that the Trump administration will do little to nothing to solve this crisis at a national level, and more people will continue to needlessly die.
