Shameful: Dem AG Said TX Synagogue Attacker Could Be a ‘White Supremacist’ Without Shred of Evidence

In terms of the macabre cultural guessing game that politicians, pundits and Twitter blue-checkmarks engage in these days as deliberately performed national tragedies unfold, the answer to the one this weekend wasn’t difficult.

In Colleyville, Texas, a rabbi and three others were taken hostage at a synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel.

ABC News’ Aaron Katersky reported, at 3:21 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, that hostage-taker demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui — a Pakistani neuroscientist and terrorist with reported ties to al-Qaida who was convicted in 2010 of attempting to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan, according to Fox News.

“Lady Al Qaeda,” as she’s known, is serving an 86-year sentence in a federal prison in nearby Fort Worth, Texas.

What motivation, pray tell, could be responsible for this hostage situation?

Roughly an hour after Katersky’s report, after it had been well-disseminated throughout the media, Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel appeared on MSNBC and expressed her grave concern that white supremacy might be to blame.

Yes, “white supremacy,” that catch-all used by politicians who are never held accountable for evidence-free assertions that it’s responsible for, well, whatever. (Here at The Western Journal, we help counter the narrative by holding these politicians accountable — and you can help us by subscribing.)
