This has been a common tactic for the right going back as far as there have been mass shootings. They will always claim the shooter is part of some out-group, while simultaneously cheering for mass murder. Then they will bring out """"crime statistics"""" about how black and Latino people are the real mass shooters, so a white shooter doesn't count because reasons.
