Sen. Jon Kyl: Let’s Not “Rush To Speculate” And Blame Shooting On Political Rhetoric

(By Matt Schneider, Mediaite) - On 'Face the Nation', Senator Jon Kyl told Bob Schieffer that before blaming “vitriolic political rhetoric” for the tragic Arizona shooting, we should not “rush to speculate” since “we really don’t know what motivated this young person except to know that he was very mentally unstable.” This common sense reaction would not ordinarily be newsworthy, except for the fact that it bizarrely seems to be such a minority opinion amongst those speaking publicly about the incident.
