Alleged Charleston gunman Dylann Roof wrote that he was never the same after discovering a website with “pages upon pages of these brutal black on white murders.” The pages that left Roof in disbelief were the product of a white-nationalist group subsidized by American taxpayers.

On Thursday morning’s “Fox & Friends,” hosts Steve Doocy, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Brian Kilmeade demonstrated a fairly impressive feat for a five-minute segment, denying that racism is a widespread problem in the U.S. then swiftly arguing that it isn’t their fault they didn’t know Dylann Storm Roof, the Charleston shooter, was a white supremacist.

The 24-hour operation is a sign that after three…
Now that Dylann Roof is in custody and has been charged with nine counts of murder, the question is: how will he plead? The speculation in days following in the massacre is that Roof will plead like fellow mass shooter James Holmes did and claim not guilty by reason of insanity. That scenario seems much…
