It’s always projection with the fascists. They’re doing the Goebbels thing, accusing others of what they’re doing.

Republican-on-Republican crime = Democrats need to stop stoking the fires of hatred and violence. 

No need for Dems to lower anything, they’re not the ones stoking the flames. This is not a “both sides” thing; it’s a ONE SIDE thing. And again, it’s not the side of the Dems.

You mean “mr trump”

What’s insensitive? Was Trump the former President of the Confederacy or something?

That’s an interesting comparison but I doubt anyone at Jalopnik has more than a vague remembrance of Crystal Jewell, if they remember her at all.  You could be the only Jalopnik poster who even remembers Crystal’s name.

It feels terribly insensitive, coming so soon after President Trump’s attempted assassination.

“I support removal of Confederate flags but I’m concerned about the timing of this particular removal.” - We’ve had since 1865 to not fly these shit-stained rags. The timing of recent events is literally irrelevant. This flag is up to send a message, and the message is “The South will rise again/white…

I’m not sure I’d grant it “clever” status, but that’s very much a troll account - the stilted language reminds me of one of the long-running Jez trolls, “Crystal Jewell” who purported to be a “20-something grad student from Iowa” for a few years, constantly bleating about her unaborted daughter, for whom she blamed…

I don’t understand this strategy of just stopping doing everything because Trump got shot.

You think it’s “insensitive” to remove a Confederate flag after Trump’s attempted assassination? Why is that? What does this flag have to do with Trump? Because it shouldn’t have anything to do with him. He’s running for President of the United States, isn’t he? I feel like he should want to support the removal of a…

I sure hope you were just trolling because if you aren’t, you really ought to get some help. “Liberal George,” really George?

Insensitive?  Are you suggesting Trump is a traitor?  A seditionist?  A Confederate?  A racist?  Or what?

This almost comes across as a satire of ‘let’s not talk about gun control; there will be time for that, but first let’s send thoughts and prayers’ but misses the mark.

I’m over it.

Lowering a flag is not an act of violence. It this case, it may be an unlawful act, but that’s not the same thing at all.

You meant “crisis acting for sympathy and votes”?

*Former* president Trump. I am thankful he survived so he can be convicted on more counts of larceny, treason and sexual abuse. And die a natural death in prison, a long time from now.

Oh good, it’s not just me that wants to do this every time it seems like an obvious Russian bot.

Did people forget who turned up the violent rhetoric in the first place?
