The Left has only one note to play: if you oppose their agenda, you’re a racist. That’s it. And if you oppose jihad terror, you’re doubly a racist: what we have seen in the wake of the killing of Justine Damond by Mohamed Noor is that all the outrage on the Left over police shootings was conditional on the cops not being Muslim. Once a Muslim cop shot an unarmed woman, Leftists became law-and-order types, and if you questioned the police and the policies that led to the hiring and retention of the rogue cop, you were a racist.

And so we come to the self-styled “comedian” Roy Edroso of the Village Voice, who, like all Leftist comedians, is spectacularly unfunny, mistaking Leftist agitprop for comedy. Edroso compounds the idiocy of the “racism” charge by doubling down on what got Justine Damond killed in the first place. He manifests the chronic Leftist confusion about what exactly constitutes a race, claiming that conservatives “went with straight-up racial appeals” and then quotes me as I allegedly “raged” and “roared” about the identity politics that kept Mohamed Noor on the force because he is a Muslim. Islam is not a race, but try challenging a Leftist like Edroso with basic facts.

The other people he quotes do mention racial issues involved in this case, and justifiably so, since there is legitimate reason to believe that Noor was only a Minneapolis cop because of his race and religion. Yet instead of calling for a reexamination of the policies that led to an incompetent cop being kept on the police force as an ethnic and religious trophy, Edroso consigns all concern about this yet again to “racism.” Leftists have no other tool in their box.

Roy Edroso’s mindless repetition of this ridiculous and baseless charge is just going to get more innocent people killed.
