How could it be? The media said he is a villain. It might have been a horse trading deal. Even the speaker Ryan said the act of violence is a bad thing.
My take is this -- the media apparently has lost its credibility. It has lost the credibility since the day President Trump has won the election. The opinion polls were all absolutely wrong. It has lost the trust that people put in.
In other words, everything looks so fake. Fake news won't affect the voters' behavior. The point raised -- scandal in this case -- lost its urgency and importance. The democracy that we cherish here in the United States changed in its appearance, if not in its meaning.
