Imagine if someone publicly assassinated a popular left-wing activist.
Imagine if the killer had engraved "catch this, commie" on the bullet.
Imagine if the killer had engraved anti-LGBT stuff on the bullet.
Imagine if the killer had engraved the words to a Nazi song on the bullet.
Imagine if all the killer's friends and family members said he was right-wing.
Imagine if the killer had told family members during a dinner how much he hated the left-wing activist's politics.
Imagine if the killer had sent text messages saying he despised the left-wing activist's politics.
Imagine if far-right extremists all over the Internet celebrated the assassination.
Then imagine the media saying, at best, his political motivation was unknown, or even that the killer was probably a left-wing anti-Trump extremist.
That's the inverse of what's happened over the past week.
