After Islamic Terrorist Kills 49, CNN Contributor Focuses on the Real Threat: Christians

After a radical Islamic terrorist murdered 49 people in a gay bar Sunday after pledging allegiance to ISIS, liberal CNN and Daily Beast contributor and Sally Kohn took to Twitter to denounce the real villains: Christians.

Hey right wing Christians desperately trying to point out that right wing Muslims are more anti-gay than you are: Your guilt is showing!

Last I checked, it’s not Muslim religious extremists shooting up abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors.

Although some on Twitter challenged her logic, Kohn doubled down.

The number of people killed at abortion clinics in 20 years is only 20 percent of those who died Sunday in #Orlando. https://t.co/26ovcE3mjI

mass murder is basically the same as believing in traditional marriage. https://t.co/PPmzmD01XP

No. Homophobia is homophobia. https://t.co/Hb1a7bdZu9

When pressed, Kohn did eventually say that, yeah, maybe mass murder was just a little bit worse than peaceful dissent.

@sallykohn So … you’re saying “yes” to his remark. @davidharsanyi

.@BecketAdams @davidharsanyi yes killing gay people is worse than just wishing they didn’t exist. Hooray for less intolerant intolerance!
