On Monday, Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s vice-presidential running mate, stepped on himself when he blamed the Ohio State University attack on gun violence. According to reports, the suspect, identified as Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a Somali refugee and a student at the school, rammed his car into pedestrians before slashing students with a butcher knife. He was shot dead by a university police officer.

That prompted Kaine — along with a number of other low-information liberals — to blame — wait for it — guns.

Deeply saddened by the senseless act of gun violence at Ohio State this morning. Praying for the injured and the entire Buckeye community — Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 28, 2016

According to the Daily Caller, Kaine backtracked:

Updated reports say attacker used a vehicle & knife. Horrifying & senseless. Relieved the scene is secure & praying for victims' recovery https://t.co/CzKRjM3qlO — Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 28, 2016

The Daily Caller added:

Kaine was not the only person with an outdated tweet about “gun violence” by lunch time. News outlets initially reported the incident as an “active shooter” situation, but the suspect did not shoot anyone. He was, however, fatally shot by a campus police officer.

…

When news first broke of the situation many who are for more gun control on social media called for stricter legislation. However, as the story unfolded some responded that that they were only reacting to the news that was available at the time.

And, as is so often the case with this sort of thing, the truth dealt a mighty blow to gun grabbers’ ghoulish agenda. Vox, for example, has already had to walk their freakout back:

what does NRA have to do with stabbings? Or MSM bias and story telling? Cmon. Get some facts. — Bodacious (@BodaciousBeer) November 28, 2016

Facts? Why use facts when there’s a narrative to push?

Will there be a call for @timkaine to stop spreading Fake News https://t.co/ffPyPPUN0l — The Right Wing M ???????? (@TheRightWingM) November 28, 2016

Good question. Does that mean Kaine is actually an unwitting tool of the Russians?
