The GOP has been perpetuating this meme that conservatives are the defenders of religious freedom while liberals oppose it, If they can link in the minds of the low informational voter that this was somehow an attack on religious freedom and therefore it must have been someone on the Left who's ultimately responsible. And this despite the fact that so far the gunman was a poster child for the young male white supremacist wannabe who's still fighting the Civil War and is blaming people of color for what's wrong in the country. Of course, Faux News doesn't dare let that image emerge as the face of this killer. No they would rather leave the impression that he was someone who didn't share the values of real Americans. If you've watched today on Faux News they've never shown the shooters face. They have blurred it out on all the new footage. No other network has done that. Why are they doing that? Have they ever blurred the face of other criminals? It's like they're treating him like someone who may not be guilty and so they don't want to be accused of ruining his life by showing his face on national TV. Or are they trying do dehumanize him so that sheeple can't see that he looks like any other angry young white male with a gun and Confederate flags on his car. And of course all that the Faux pendents are saying is that he's obviously mentally impaired.
BTW, did you notice that the police were able to take him into custody without firing a single shot? Can you imagine if this had been a young angry black man who shot up a white church, do you think the police would have taken him in the same manner as this guy?
