MSNBC used a chyron on Tuesday evening that read “TRUMP-INSPIRED TERRORISM,” in quotation marks, during The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell.Well, Lawrence... as long as we're comfortable using a crazy person's political views to smear folks we don't agree with...
"At no point did O’Donnell or his guest note that the El Paso shooter allegedly claimed that he had arrived at his racist ideas many years before Trump’s presidential campaign."
Betts was known to talk about politics and would frequently trash Republicans. His Twitter account, created in 2013, was suspended late Sunday night. Before it was suspended, the account's Twitter bio said: "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / i'm going to hell and i'm not coming back."Funny... not seeing too many screaming headlines about "Bernie Inspired Terrorism."
Betts once showed video of a mass shooting to a woman on their first date.

If the review team screams and begins throwing feces around, the headlines will be deemed problematic and will be sent back to Times writers for another pass.
