NBC Reporter Fears London Terror Will ‘Put Wind in the Sails’ of ‘Right-Wing Movement’

During MSNBC’s live breaking news coverage of the suspected terrorist attacks in London on Wednesday, NBC News reporter Matt Bradley reported via phone from the British capital and was more worried about the violence helping conservative politicians than he was about the victims: “We've seen this rise of a kind of a right-wing movement here and throughout Europe. And this is only going to put wind in the sails of those who would say that this is an issue that needs to be looked at, that needs to be examined in terms of refugees.”

Sounds like 90% of this board today. Taking a tragedy and using it to push their political narratives.
The police haven't even provided a full report and people are already using this as a means to push political narrative.

This happens with workplace shootings too. It's not one sided.

What do you mean? Not sure what political narrative is associated with the work place shootings.

It was a genuine question. I don't really hear about workplace shootings that much anymore. What narrative is pushed after workplace shootings occur? I am honestly curious.

It's not political narrative as much as it is common sense when it comes to people seeing the danger in the main tenet of Islam being played out almost daily on their TV's with the massacre of innocents. Even a cursory study of Islam will tell you that all Muslims are called to "holy war" against the infidel and this twisted ideology is a fundamental part of their religion. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see the "Religion of Peace" has much less to do with political narratives than it does about self preservation of Western Civilization.

Dude, gun control advocates rapid fire on social media before anything is confirmed.

Ah! OK. I see what you're saying and I don't disagree with your statement. It's pretty sad because it prohibits us from having real conversations on how to fix the issue.
Eta: when you can't admit there are real problems going on such as religious extremism and too easy access to weapons then no real solutions are ever reached.

There aren't always political solutions to every problem. There is a price for freedom. Sometime the price for a somewhat free society is that a few bad things?will happen.

I agree. Laws won't stop all of it, but they can help reduce it to a certain degree. To sit by idly and not try to address the issue isn't going to help us in the long run.

Britain won't go any further right wing than it already is
We haven't got a general election for another couple of years but it was us that started the ball rolling. UKIP gaining the third most votes in the GE led to Brexit, but Brexit was their only calling card.
They are now down their main(and only) talking point and are a party in disarray since Farage realised the same thing and stepped down. They won't have anywhere near the same showing next time.
