The shooter is directly responsible for pulling the trigger. No doubt about it.
That doesn't mean that nobody else contributed to the hateful mindset and should have known better, in my opinion.
If I constantly told my employees that immigrant nurses are evil enemies, funded by Jews, and they were out to steal my employees' jobs in order to endanger the lives of senior citizens across the country............I'd bear some responsibility if one of my employees stabbed an immigrant nurse or a Jewish person because she believed my bullshit rhetoric.
But, I'd never be so irresponsible. The bar for the President should be higher than the bar for the average American in a leadership role, in my view.
