Today you will see the contrast in the media coverage of the terrorist attack in Barcelona compared to what I call a terrorist attack this past weekend in Charlotesville. While all Trump supporters, conservatives or right-wings were automatically branded white nationalists, neo-Nazis and KKK after Charlottesville, this attack will see the media completely dance around the fact that the terrorist or terrorists were Islamic. We’ll get the standard “lone wolf” or “lone wolves” blamed for the terrorist attack in Spain, and hear over and over again how this doesn’t represent Islam.

Regardless, that hasn’t stopped the alt-left from blaming President Trump, confederate generals, and the right for causing what happened in Barcelona today.

#cnn#Barcelona attack was Trump inspired as he already has condoned the Virginia attack

3. But in methodology. I am not going too far by saying that Trump's failure to condemn hate ideology empowers violent tactics.

There must be a lot of confederate statues in Spain. I guess I don’t know my history as well as I thought I did.
