The implication is that it is President Trump’s anti-semitism rhetoric that was somehow a factor in the murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lichinsky. The media just cannot help themselves. They’ll provide cover for anything and anyone as long as they can sure that Trump is always the bad guy.

The details were bad enough last night when Deanna wrote about it. But now, we find out that the murderer is more evil than anyone realized.

The suspected terrorist who opened fire on two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC, unleashed nearly two dozen rounds at the soon-to-be-engaged couple — with victim Sarah Milgrim attempting to crawl away after collapsing to the ground, according to sources and court documents.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, was caught on surveillance footage firing several shots at Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Milgrim, 26, before they both collapsed outside the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday, according to an arrest affidavit.

The Chicago native leaned over the bullet-riddled couple and continued firing, then followed Milgrim as she made a desperate attempt to escape, shooting her again, charging documents showed.

Rodriguez was seen reloading his weapon before opening fire on Milgrim once more.

Law enforcement sources told The Post the alleged maniac fired at least 21 shots during the cold-blooded killings, using a high-end German-designed H&K 9mm pistol – which he purchased years ago.

This was absolutely intentional. Yet the framing by the New York Times makes this seem like the shooter just sort of accidentally went off the rails. 

Agents in tactical gear descended on Mr. Rodriguez’s Chicago home on Thursday morning. Investigators are still trying to learn what might have led the suspect, a longtime activist with a college education and a job at a medical association, to turn violent during a business trip to the capital city.

I’m here to tell you that there was intent in his actions. Why? Because of the gun and ammunition he brought to that museum. 

I can tell you from experience that you absolutely HAVE to plan for checking your weapon. You have to declare it, fill out a form, have your weapon inspected, and have the agent ensure its in the correct case, and THEN it goes into checked luggage. It is by no means an easy spur-of-the-moment process. 

The departure point here was Chicago. Chicago and Illinois have strict rules, so if the gun was legal there—which it seems to have been—it would have been in Virginia (where both D.C. airports are). (2)

The media is turning cartwheels in a major effort to pin this on President Trump. You see, it’s HIS rhetoric that has led to two innocent young people being murdered in D.C. on Wednesday night. 

Since taking office, Trump has made combating antisemitism a key part of his agenda, an effort that critics say has veered at times into stifling dissenting speech critical of Israel’s war in Gaza. Wednesday’s slayings cast those policies into sharp relief, as several administration officials sought to draw a connection between the startling act of violence and Trump’s stated rationale for controversial policies like canceling billions in federal funding to universities and trying to detain and deport protest leaders.

The shooter BLUNTLY and LOUDLY stated in front of a multitude of witnesses that he did it for Gaza and Palestine. He killed Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky because they were Jewish. Yet we are supposed to blame President Trump’s efforts to crackdown on antisemitism for their murders? NO. 

The same day that Rodriguez ended two young lives, students at Columbia University’s graduation also chanted that inane and ignorant chant of “Free, free Palestine.”

They did so even as their cowardly acting president Claire Shipman tried to placate the mob.

“I know many in our community are mourning the absence of our graduate, Mahmoud Khalil,” she said, referring to the Columbia protest leader who has spent the past two years trying to halt normal life on Columbia’s campus amid a claim that Columbia is somehow involved in the “genocide” in Gaza.

The media will try to claim, heck they ARE claiming that no signs were available to show that the shooter could be radicalized and decide to kill Jews.

Yet here’s CNN trying desperately to change the narrative, and going full Norm MacDonald instead.  

WOW: A former Columbia University student who witnessed the brutal mu*der of two Israeli embassy staff members in D.C. last night says what he saw in the sh**ter’s eyes was no different from what he saw in the eyes of Columbia University pro-Hamas terrorist supporters. “They have… pic.twitter.com/su68wAtnHj

She’ll never realize how big a rake she stepped on during that interview. Campus protestors are ON RECORD calling for Intifada against Jews and have been doing so for over two years now. Yet we STILL have the media and the rest of the usual suspects downplaying their rhetoric of violence or doing their best to ignore it. Meanwhile those who’ve bleated about schotastic terrorism have been radio silent for the last two days. Interesting that. 

The shooter appeared in court and charges have been filed against him. 

The media is trying to spin this as the fault of President Trump because of HIS rhetoric in trying to halt the spread of antisemitism throughout the country and world since October 7. And they will ignore this. 

But they are right, since antizionism is based on a variety of implicitly or explicitly antisemitic premises, and the highest form of antisemitism is murdering random Jews, the murder is the "highest" form of antizionism. They just don't understand how damning this is to…

The shooter was involved with a variety of very socialist leftist groups. Several of whom are frantically backpedaling right now and claiming they never knew the guy. The media, meanwhile, is currently working up reports and headlines that make excuses for the guy, even as some other groups are celebrating the shooter’s actions.

The shooter just arbitrarily decided to plan to bring his weapon and ammo to Washington D.C. and magically find a young Jewish couple to murder. The media is working hard to ignore the nearly three years of campus protests and the violent rhetoric and property damage from the same. Instead, they are working hard to ensure that President Trump is to blame.
