After Buffalo race massacre, rightwing pundits focus on … anything else | Andrew Lawrence

Fox News hosts discussed baby formula, abortion and Putin but were silent on a white shooter's targeting of Black shoppers

A white teenager and avowed racist beelines to a Black neighborhood and fatally guns down 10 supermarket patrons. But what most troubled the pure minds of the right's leading thinkers? Baby formula, among other things.

For the most prominent conservative voices, the major takeaway from last Saturday's shooting in Buffalo, New York, was not it being one of the worst hate crimes in American history. Or an indictment of gun control legislation. Or an impetus for tighter controls around online forums that provide quarter to bigots and their unhinged plans of mass destruction. No, their major takeaway was literally anything else.
