President Trump is notoriously inconsistent on his positions and policies, but he can always be counted on for his consistency in denouncing violence by Muslims while remaining silent on violence against Muslims.
The attack on Muslim worshippers exiting a London mosque early Monday morning, in what has been described by officials as an act of terrorism perpetrated by a 47-year-old white man, became the latest instance of Trump’s blatant juxtaposition.
Within two hours of theLondon Bridge attack earlier this month when a van driven by ISIS sympathizers drove into a crowd of pedestrians, killing eight and wounding dozens, Trump demonstrated his eagerness to rail against the culprits and further justify a fear of Muslims and the need for a Muslim ban.
