A Republican caller on C-SPAN's Washington Journal program accused host Pedro Echevarria of being a "racist."

During the daily call-in show, Echevarria asked guests to react to a shooting in Buffalo that appeared to be a hate crime where most of the victims were Black.

"It's stir-the-pot Sunday," a Republican caller named John complained. "Trying to get everybody to hate each other on a Sunday. Like the first caller. He thinks white people are systematically out hunting Black people. I guess he doesn't watch channel 6 news in Philadelphia, where Blacks kill Blacks three, four in the middle of the afternoon."

"What do you think about the event from yesterday which is the basis of our question today?" Echevarria wondered.

"I don't think nothing of it!" John remarked. "Because I think you're just trying to start a race war. You had the guy in Wisconsin that ran over those Christians in that parade. They were all white. But that wasn't a race crime. OK? And then you just had the guy from Philadelphia that went to New York City and shot the people in the subway."

"And how does that relate to yesterday's event?" Echevarria pressed.

"How does it relate?" John exclaimed. "He is a racist! He went from Philadelphia to New York just to kill white people on a subway."

"OK. That's not yesterday's event you're talking about," the C-SPAN host pointed out. "How does that relate to yesterday's event?"

"You're a goddamn racist!" the caller shouted.

"OK," Echevarria stated. "You can't use language on that so we're going to cut you off right there."

2. I have seen two other instances of racists complaining about the Wisconsin incident being ignored.

Someone with a sizable and dumb audience is pushing this garbage. They don't seem to understand that a criminal trying to evade the police (and runs over people in the street who are preventing his speedy escape) is not the same as someone donning body armor, driving 200 miles away to a specific neighborhood and gunning down specific people with a weapon with racial slurs written on it. Race was not a factor in the Wisconsin crime but it was in the Buffalo one.

They are also going after recent subway shooter in NYC, although I don't know enough about that case to know if victims were targeted due to their race. Also, I don't think any of them died or am I wrong on this one?

3. "Just the facts, sir"

We've all seen little Master Payton's picture. He could be Rittenhouse's brother from another mother, OK? Same shitty attitude, same sulky, pasty face.

BTW, what was that white outfit he was arrayed in when he was arraigned? It looked like some kind of paper thing.
