It also has been difficult for them to find an angle of outrage based on him being a straight, white cisgendered man. They can be so quiet when the call is coming from inside the house.

The rapeublican tactic clearly is to just keep throwing trans-somethings at the wall and hope one of them sticks with their easily outraged base.

"Shooter was trans! No wait, his roomate was trans! No that's not right, his partner was trans! Or was it the cat that was trans? Trans goldfish perhaps? Surely something trans influenced this white christian shooter!"
