A 22-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting and police have dubbed it a hate crime. But both Daily Wire hosts rejected claims conservatives are to blame for the actions of a violent lunatic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe line that is going here is that if you really wish to prevent violence against gay clubs, this means you have to support every element of the progressive agenda or you are complicit,\u201d Shapiro said. \u201cAnd this is a game that only gets played by one side of the political aisle again and again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Left has no problem blaming tragedies like the one in Colorado Springs on their political opponents.
