The person arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder?
As Joyce Vance says,
"The suspect [is] a cisgender white man raised in a religious, Republican home."
So will Wall Street Journal and New York Times now apologize for promoting the lie about bullet casings left behind by the shooter that were marked with "transgender" symbols, whatever the jumping hell that means?
I doubt it.

As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.
"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."
