No, Chelsea Clinton Isn't Responsible For The Christchurch Mosque Massacre

During a vigil this evening at NYU to mourn the deaths of 49 Muslims slaughtered at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, a student named Lween Dweik confronted Chelsea Clinton accusing her of being responsible for the attack.

Yes, you heard that right.

Dweik, who was sporting a shirt in support of Bernie Sanders, made this claim on the basis of Clinton's criticism last month of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for a series of anti-Semitic tweets. Clinton's remarks were critical in persuading Omar to issue an apology (albeit an insincere one).

Clinton, pregnant with her third child, was confronted by Dweik who stated:

This right here is the result of a massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world. And I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deeply - 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there.
For her part, Clinton apologized to Dweik which only seemed to anger her and her friends. A male student shouted, "What does "I'm sorry you feel that way" mean? What does that mean?"

Clinton need not have apologized to these clowns for anything because she had absolutely nothing to do with their deaths. The notion that Clinton's criticism of Omar caused the deaths of 49 Muslims half way around the world is a load of fatuous nonsense. Congresswoman Omar is not above criticism and doesn't have license to engage in the defamation of American Jews. At no point did the man responsible for this terrorist attack claim inspiration from the words of Chelsea Clinton (President Trump, however, is another matter).

The most frightening thing of all is that the Lween Dweiks of the world are going to be in charge in the not too distant future. I fear that Dweik and her ilk will make the likes of Omar and AOC look reasonable by comparison. The present state of affairs certainly doesn't inspire my confidence. But there was a time when I would have looked to the future and said, "Things will get better." I have reached the age where I no longer think that way. There have always been fools and we have been able to survive them. But I'm not sure how much longer that will be.
