In response to the Dallas police shooting, former Congressman Joe Walsh tweeted a thinly veiled, implicitly racist threat to Black Lives Matter and President Barack Obama. After about a half hour, he deleted it.
In related news, Donald Trump is also making headlines for his response to the Dallas shooting.
Update: Walsh tried to clarify his point with a follow up tweet.
Shonda Rhimes has responded to Walsh’s clarification, arguing that guns are the real issue here.
Update: John Legend also spoke out against Joe Walsh’s tweet.
Just before that Legend had tweeted a strong condemnation of the violence in Dallas.
