GQ: Why Does Trump Want Death Penalty for Muslim Terrorist, But Not Vegas Shooter?

The left doesn't know anything except how to accuse its opponents of bigotry.

And GQ, home of the Keith Olbermann resistance and ads for curated free trade male tanning creams, had the ultimate hot take. “Why Does Donald Trump Want the Death Penalty for the New York Attack, But Not Las Vegas?”

You know what the answer was supposed to be. Racism. It's only because he's Muslim. Or as GQ's Jay Willis put it, "This overstep of his authority is a cynical, opportunistic overture to the most xenophobic instincts of his base."

The most xenophobic instincts of his base apparently are sated by calling for the death penalty for a murderer.

Anyway someone explained to GQ and Jay that you can't kill a dead man. But they did append a correction that still hedged their bets.

Edit: An earlier version of this article used a headline noting that Trump had publicly called for the death penalty in the New York attack, but not the Las Vegas shooting in particular. That discrepancy is probably related to the fact that the Las Vegas shooter is dead. We regret the error.

Probably. You never know.

This is the media. It doesn't know anything. And even when its claims completely contradict reality, it'll still hold out for that "probably".
