How Trump Is Using Violent Tragedies to Divide America

/

Once again, the response was quick, fuming, and filled with falsehoods. On January 7, about five hours after a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis fatally shot a woman in her SUV, President Donald Trump addressed the reckless killing in a social-media post: The victim, he said, “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over […]
