Jeremy Christian brutally murdered two men and wounded another who were allegedly protecting Muslim women on a train from Christian’s “racist insults,” as reported at KATU.
From the article:
“Multiple witnesses told KATU the suspect was hurling racial insults at two women, at least one of whom was wearing a hijab. Police wouldn’t confirm their ages, but referred to them as ‘girls’ and ‘young women.’
Sgt. Pete Simpson with Portland Police added the suspect appeared to be acting erratically and wasn’t necessarily focused on anti-Muslim insults during the attack.”
From a distance, Jeremy Christian looked like a perfect candidate for the left’s narrative. Soon Jeremy Christian would become as much of a beloved bogeyman for the mainstream media as Dylann Roof, the “Jihadist for White Hate.” Breathless “news” articles cited Christian’s horrific attack and many tied “Trump’s rhetoric” with the violence.
But when it started to unfold that Christian is in fact an anti-Semetic Bernie Sanders supporter based on numerous Facebook posts, the mainstream media backed off of the Trump connection, only to refer to him as a “white supremacist.”
Here is Jeremy sharing Democratic Socialist’s photo in June of last year:
Here he chastises anyone who supported Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton:
But according to the Slate article Turkish CUNY Professor Mucahit Bilici? shared on Twitter, murderer Jeremy Christian is a “right wing extremist.” Mucahit Bilici? laments that the killings are “normalized” by “Trump’s Islamophobic rhetoric.” According to his CUNY bio, Bilici?’s interests include “American Islam, Religion, Islamophobia…”
The Slate article, written by Daniel Politi, a self-described “Journalist” living in Argentina, also quotes Heidi Beirich of the Southern Povery Law Center as making this determination “after examining his Facebook page.”
Here is the Muslim Professor’s tweet:
Trump’s Islamophobic rhetoric continues to normalize homegrown terrorism of another sort. https://t.co/AzNGjfhMNH

Here is a tweet from the painfully partisan Southern Poverty Law Center:
@Hatewatch @splcenter Jeremy Christian was an avid @BernieSanders supporter.

And, of course, Slate:
