Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested Monday that Democrats and media figures who pushed Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist may have “incited the mass murder” perpetrated in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
“After the widespread hateful reaction to the Rittenhouse verdict & dog whistle calls to radical BLM ground troops by the mainstream media, Democrats, and even the President of the United States, we must ask if they incited the mass murder in Waukesha, WI. Intentional homicide,” Greene tweeted.

Intentional homicide.

Greene then noted in a retweet that Brooks killed more people than died at the 2017 Charlottesville, Virginia rally, which the media still generates “white supremacist” talking points about to this day.

Darrell E. Brooks was charged with five counts of intentional homicide for plowing his vehicle into a Christmas parade on Sunday, killing 5 people and injuring at least 48 others.
The media has been reticent to cover the developments of the story, including Brooks’ criminal and ideological history: he’s a Black Lives Matter activist who hated Rittenhouse and exhibited anti-white racism on social media, calling even for violence against elderly white people.

In contrast to Greene’s statement, several other Democrats bitterly responded on social media to Brooks’ likely racially-motivated attack as “self-defense,” a jab against Rittenhouse’s acquittal last Friday.
One Illinois Democrat named Mary Lemanski even resigned over her now-deleted remarks about the heinous attack.
DuPage Democrats even had to release a statement condemning her remarks as “incredibly insensitive.”
We are deeply saddened by the tragedy in Waukesha.We are aware of statements made by a former member of our organization and find them to be incredibly insensitive and not in alignment of who we are as an organization. Our organization does not support hate in any form

The way the Democrats and the media are covering this tragedy compared to the Rittenhouse trial should tell you all you need to know about them.
The same people who told you for 14 months that Kyle Rittenhouse intentionally murdered BLM protesters are now telling you that a career criminal unintentionally ran over a Christmas parade
