Rev. Denise Walden-Glenn, a member of the Buffalo clergy, said this yesterday about the racist murderer: “Somebody filled his heart so full of hate that he would destroy and devastate our community.” That “somebody” would be Tucker Carlson, Fox News, and the GOP. _____ The Quorum Report’s Scott Braddock, put out an item Friday that…
