If you thought the press could come together to unequivocally condemn an Islamist terrorist attack that took the lives of 15 people, you failed to consider MSNBC exists.

In one of the most astonishing media moments I've ever seen, Joy Reid's Thursday evening primetime show dismissed the focus on the Bourbon Street terrorist, insinuating it was being driven by racism because the attacker had a "brown face" with a name that "sounds exotic." The panel then claimed the real threat in America is "young, white men."

REID: Yeah, and last word to you on this Charles because this is the challenge because it's very difficult to feel safe when on top of everything that Mayor Landry just said, you also have politicians who have a self-interest in lying about everything because it helps them with a political narrative, not concerned with the human narrative that could actually be really helpful. 

BLOW: And that is the tragedy of all of this, right? There are real tragedies. There will always be crime, you know, unfortunately, what we try to do is keep the crime as low as possible. All different kinds of people will commit crimes. 

The problem here is you, you know, you jump on one sort of crime, one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic, one brown face, rather than looking at all the domestic terror that we face, including what the FBI says is a really big problem, which is young, white men in America. We need to look at our domestic terrorism and say this all is a problem.

Here's a tip for anyone talking about a deadly terrorist attack. You definitely, without question do not have to try to equivocate because you feel irrationally defensive about the race of the attacker. That is an insanely disgusting thing to do. When I found out who the Bourbon Street terrorist was, the last thing that crossed my mind was that he had a "brown face." The first thing that crossed my mind was that Islamism is a societal scourage and has claimed yet more lives. 

As to the ridiculous deflection regarding "young, white men," there is still little evidence that they represent the largest domestic terrorist threat in America no matter how many times the Biden administration and its various agencies make that claim. One could even argue that the government keeps failing to stop these types of attacks because they are wasting resources obsessively assigning investigative scrutiny based on left-wing ideals of intersectionality.

Recall that in early 2023, many Democratic Party politicians and the ADL decried a supposed white supremacy-fueled "day of hate," warning of a rash of "right-wing" violence and bigotry. The problem? It not only never happened, there was no indication it ever even existed. Left-wingers are so desperate to make white supremacy the primary domestic terrorism threat in America that they'll spend days shouting about something made up while actual Islamic terrorists are running people over with pick-up trucks. 

Whatever the actual statistics are, and not even the government likely has an accurate handle on the situation, when Shamsud Din Jabbar took the lives of so many people, he became the story. MSNBC can not like that because of what skin complexion he happened to have, but it is exceptionally gross to deflect from his evil deeds for what are, in my opinion, clearly racist reasons.
