This is it exactly. They were fine with brown people being hurt but can't look past a nice white lady being shot in the face over someone's ego.

They're consoling themselves with the fact that she wasn't straight.

If they are, it's a bad idea since it had nothing to do with her being targeted.

Well people like that will search for any excuse. This is a harder one than children in cages for these people, though, since it does go against the standard narrative.

The DOJ is working hard to find a reason to dehumanize her, I am sure they will "find" something that makes this OK.

Many sure seem to be doing their best to try. We'll see if it's enough to matter with the giant IF there's any legit elections there going forward.
