When Everyone’s a White Supremacist, No One Is

Howard Hyde – The left lost control of their narrative of the “White supremacist” “active shooter” “murderer” Kyle Rittenhouse in the face of overwhelming factual evidence of self-defense.  So leftists did what they do best (or worst): double down.  Racism!  White supremacy!  No justice, no peace!
