Horrific news from America today where conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot dead at a speaking event at a Utah university, with the killer still at large at the time of writing.
The murder brought shock and condemnation from all sides on both sides of the Atlantic.
And even though there was no evidence at this stage as to who did it or why, it did not stop Republican Maga-in-chief Nancy Mace not just blaming the left but suggesting Democrats ‘own what happened today’.
But Congresswoman Mace, who has described herself as ‘Trump in high heels’, was less keen when her so-called logic was applied to her own party by NBC’s chief Capitol Hill correspondent, Ryan Nobles. And it’s quite the watch.
Nancy Mace’s very first words to reporters on Charlie Kirk was “democrats own what happened today”
When @ryanobles followed up about if that means Republicans “own” the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers she says “are you kidding me?”

A valuable piece of evidence, you might think, as to how America ended up where it is today. And these people surely said it best.

Nancy Mace is a perfect example of what is wrong with politics today. https://t.co/LZ6riqJwMs

She’s such a disgusting person. The Minnesota lawmakers were in fact attacked by a Trump supporter. As of now, we don’t even know the motives of the Kirk shooter. https://t.co/OQsrnduVoz

Nancy Mace just blamed Democrats for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but when asked if Republicans “own” the mass shooting of Black lawmakers in Minnesota?
She laughed and said, “Are you kidding me?”
So it only counts when the victim fits your agenda?

What she said was ridiculous but notice how she can’t engage with a simple analogy on the follow up. https://t.co/5QpoyrPe5P

The deflection and mental gymnastics from Nancy are so pathetic, it’s almost laughable.

Great question by the reporter. You can’t only politicize violence on the side you want. This lady is awful. https://t.co/MRgS1SltV4
