ABC News’ Cokie Roberts and analyst Matthew Dowd blame President Trump, at least partially, for the death of Heather Heyer, the 32-year-old woman killed by a car rammed into counter-protesters in Charlottesville over the weekend.

During their appearance on ABC’s This Week with Georg Stephanopoulos on Sunday, both were quick to point the finger at the president, though Roberts was the most direct.

Dowd gently suggested, “Who shares responsibility in this? It’s not only the man, it’s not only the movement, but anybody that points their fingers at Mexicans and Muslims shares responsibility.”

Willing to speak his actual name, Roberts jumped in to squarely pummel Trump:

“Well, the president has to share responsibility. The fact is, is that through that campaign, he blew all kind of whistles that those of us who grew up in the Jim Crow South, like I did, recognized immediately. It was just calling out to these white supremacists who then felt empowered by it, and the president now not calling them out.”

However, the president did call them out and condemned their actions, but that’s of no consequence here. Roberts and Dowd are just carrying out the same tradition they started when stating President Obama shared the blame of all the assassinated cops when he solidly backed the Black Lives Matter movement. Oh wait, our bad. That NEVER happened.

Roberts added that Trump should take a cue from U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley when she “started bringing down Confederate monuments” and “did it so graciously” with “exactly the right tone.”

What does “exactly the right tone” mean to the media elite? When it lines up exactly with their preconceived politics.

Breitbart has the clip.
