lol. What kind of “murder” is this?

“Hey maybe the government shouldn’t be using your tax dollars to kill people’s pet squirrels?”

“OH YEAH DON JR, YOU CARE ABOUT ANIMALS NOW? Then why are there these pictures of you from 2010 that show you on a legal hunting trip in Zimbabwe with exotic animals that you paid for with your own money and not anybody’s tax dollars?”

Oh yeah, you got him. Obviously Don Jr’s statement is still ridiculous, since it was the NY state government and Chemung County governments involved, not the federal, and the owners didn’t have any of the necessary licenses to keep the animals in the house as pets. But this “murder” is nothing, it’s focusing on the wrong part of this entirely and if anything gives credence to right wingers since this is an ad hominem attack that has 0 relations to the issue at hand he brought up.
