White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to comment Wednesday when asked if the school shooting in Nashville by a trans individual should be classified as a ‘hate crime’.
The transgender terrorist Audrey Hale specifically targeted Christians, killing three children and three teachers at a private school last week.
Yet KJP stated that “It’s not for us to decide” whether the act constitutes a hate crime, when asked by a journalist.

But they are quick to classify other incidents perpetrated by people with ideologies they don’t agree with: double standard.

It's only for "them to decide" when the narrative is maintained by deciding in the affirmative.

If it were a school for the alphabet gang you know they would consider it a hate crime.

When a shooter killed five people at a LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado last year, Biden called it “horrific hate violence,” and stated “We must drive out the inequities that contribute to violence against LGBTQI+ people. We cannot and must not tolerate hate.”
There was no further comment, however when it was revealed that the suspect was a ‘non-binary’ they/them person, and it just went away from the media cycle.
In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that "they use they/them pronouns." The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich. pic.twitter.com/dPaUpiFXKN

After a teenage gunman killed 10 people and injured three others at a supermarket in Buffalo last year, Biden labeled it “an act of domestic terrorism,” and stated that “an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology, is antithetical to everything we stand for in America. Hate must have no safe harbor. We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism.”
KJP also seemed to have a different outlook in that case:
Today the WH refused to call the Nashville terror attack a "hate crime," saying "it's not for us to decide."

The same level of denunciation was noticeably absent when a black supremacist and BLM supporter with a history of anti-white statements, including calling white people “the enemy,” killed five people and injured dozens of others during a Christmas parade.
When it suits the narrative, it’s a hate crime. When it doesn’t, it’s not for Biden to say:
The stated reason why Biden did not go to Waukesha is that it would require too many "assets" and "resources." Somehow they have managed to gather all of the necessary assets and resources for Buffalo.

Last week KJP was also pretty sure that the trans community is “under attack right now.”
For the sake of full context, the comments came as a reporter asked Jean-Pierre about the Kentucky legislature overriding the governor’s veto of a bill that restricts aspects of trans youth gender-affirming surgeries and the use of bathrooms.
Jean-Pierre responded, “we’ve been very clear about these anti-LGBTQ bills that we’re seeing in state legislators — state legislatures across the country, in particular these anti-trans bills, as they attack trans kids, as they attack trans parents. It is — it is shameful. And it is unacceptable.”
Apparently it’s not for the Biden administration to call shooting Christian kids a hate crime, but it is their responsibility to call state legislature to protect children a “shameful attack”.
