Summary
Senator John Cornyn has called on Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico to condemn his pastor’s remark about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump. Talarico’s pastor, Dr. Jim Rigby, made light of the attempt during a sermon, which was met with laughter from the audience. Cornyn claims that Talarico must condemn the remark, while Talarico has centered his campaign on his faith background and progressive policies.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Senator Cornyn calls for condemnation, while Talarico’s campaign is built on faith and progressive policies. Dr. Rigby’s sermon sparks laughter, and the assassination attempt is mentioned. The incident is used to criticize Talarico’s stance on political violence. The familiar dance of outrage and condemnation begins. The performance of moral outrage is well-rehearsed.
