Cable News 'Obsessed' Man PLEADS Guilty To #Hate Crimes - The Logical Leftist



In this shocking video, we delve into the disturbing case of Douglas Wayne Cornett, a Virginia man who recently pleaded guilty to hate crime charges stemming from a violent incident fueled by his obsession with right-wing cable news. At 58 years old, Cornett's actions left two Latino men injured after he opened fire in a gas station, believing that undocumented immigrants were a threat to his community. We explore the details of the February 2024 shooting, including Cornett's motivations and the dangerous rhetoric surrounding immigration in today's media landscape. Was his violent outburst a result of the news he consumed, or was he using it to validate his own prejudices? Join us as we analyze the intersection of media influence, hate crimes, and the ongoing debate about immigration in America.
