I can remember when all you needed to do to receive universal condemnation by the American media was to wear a MAGA hat and stand next to an American Indian and a drum circle.
It’s a Good Thing Quintez Brown Wasn’t Wearing a MAGA Hat.
Imagine for a moment that a young man wearing a MAGA hat walked into the campaign headquarters of a mayoral candidate in an American city, pulled out a gun, and started shooting. Imagine that he came so close to assassinating the candidate that a bullet grazed the man’s sweater. And now imagine that the shooter’s bail was set at only $100,000, and a group of white supremacists raised his bail and put him back on the street within a couple of days.
Would that be national news? Would you be able to turn on CNN or MSNBC at any hour of the day without hearing about it? Would it be presented as further evidence of what’s really wrong with America?
Well, forget all that, because when this exact scenario played out in Louisville, KY this week, the shooter was fighting for a cause that’s favored by our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press.
On Monday, a young man named Quintez Brown tried to murder Craig Greenberg, who’s running for mayor of Louisville. Yet Brown is already out on bail, which was raised by… Black Lives Matter.

As you can imagine, Greenberg isn’t happy about it:
No offense to someone who was nearly assassinated, but the gun wasn’t acting on its own. There are a lot of guns in Louisville, and none of them jumped up and took shots at Greenberg of their own volition. Quintez Brown did that.
And what was Brown’s motive? We may never know:
Shrug emoji!
This story is already being swept under the rug, just like the story of anti-Semitic BLM supporter Darrell Brooks plowing his SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, WI and killing six people, including an 8-year-old boy.
After all, journos wouldn’t want their friends thinking they’re racists, would they? Assassinating politicians is bad, but it’s hardly worth getting yelled at on Twitter.
