The best part is where they tut-tut scapegoating people for political gain..... while scapegoating a completely unrelated populace for political gain.
Yeah. Republicans are well known for normalizing Islamist ideology. Wait, no, no, no, woops, that's the occasional Democrat, who, in their eagerness to prove how tolerant they are, tolerate evil. And, you know, occasional Democrats like Omar Mateen.
But no. The NYTimes is so desperate to attack those with whom they disagree, that now Republicans are to blame for the actions of Islamist Terrorists who are registered Democrats.

...Omar Mateen shattered the tenuous, hard-fought sense of personal safety that many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans have begun to feel as the movement for equality has made significant gains in recent years. His bullets and the blood he left behind that early morning were a reminder that in many corners of the country, gay and transgender people are still regarded as sinners and second-class citizens who should be scorned. While the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear, it is evident that Mr. Mateen was driven by hatred toward gays and lesbians. Hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester, where minorities are vilified and where people are scapegoated for political gain. Tragically, this is the state of American politics, driven too often by Republican politicians who see prejudice as something to exploit, not extinguish....
It’s hard to say how many politicians take these positions as a matter of principle and how many do so because it has proved to be an effective way in the past to raise money and turn out the vote. As the funerals are held for those who perished on Sunday, lawmakers who have actively championed discriminatory laws and policies, and those who have quietly enabled them with votes, should force themselves to read the obituaries and look at the photos. The 49 people killed in Orlando were victims of a terrorist attack. But they also need to be remembered as casualties of a society where hate has deep roots.
