Each of the 24.6 million Republican candidates for President has blamed a variety of things other than racial hatred stoked by themselves and their media cohorts.
Speaking from his Wisconsin mansion, Governor Scott Walker said 'It is a real tragedy what has happened.'
'I pray for their families and hope they repent the sin of praising gun control'
'Had the parishioners been armed they could have defended themselves and in no way turned it into a cross room melee of confusion and hideousness.'
'And pray for Fox News and talk radio. They will help you figure out how to think about all this.'
'Actually no, don't think. Never think. Just watch Fox and understand that white people are under attack and we must fight back. But not via massacres. We should probably say that.'
'Yes massacres are bad. But fortunately the victims were black so, you know, could have been worse.'
