Stop Making Sense, Karl Rove

Karl Rove, presumably always on the right,
pictured here with Mr. and Mrs Bush of Texas


Once every 30 years or so, I say something like: "Hey, did you see what Karl Rove wrote this week? It was pretty smart ... He said: 

No. Charlie Kirk wasn’t killed by “them.” “They” didn’t pull the trigger. One person did, apparently a young man driven by impulse and a terrible hate. If there were a “they” involved, law enforcement would find “them” and the justice system would hold “them” accountable. But “he” and “him” are the correct pronouns for this horrendous act. /

Mr Rove continued...   

Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it. /

They didn't pull the trigger .... he and him are the correct pronouns for this horrendous act.

That's really good. Thank you, Karl Rove.
