MSNBC correspondent Trymaine Lee blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., for calling the racist Jacksonville shooter a “scumbag,' claiming that it avoids the issue of White supremacy.
MSNBC correspondent Trymaine Lee took issue Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for calling the Jacksonville shooter a "scumbag" because it avoids tackling White supremacy.
"You know, for so many folks, the issue with that language is it places the onus on one individual and the actions of one individual as opposed to a nationwide sickness of White supremacy in the country and the violence it fuels. As so long as he is a scumbag or as long as there's a mental health issue you don't have to engage with the idea that there are, you know, co-conspirators online, co-conspirators who create legislation that divide and other people," Lee argued.

"At the end of the day, respectfully, governor, he was not a scumbag," Rumlin said."He was a racist."
