The newspaper had a choice . . . They could've acknowledged a legit concern and offered ideas about how ALL AMERICANS can unite to calm escalating hatred and violence in our nation and across the world.

"I have no idea," Biden, 80, told the media assembled outside the White House on Tuesday when asked if Monday's deadly shooting rampage that claimed the lives of three children and three adults at The Covenant School in Tennessee was an attack targeting Christians.
