    Who knew? The usual suspects are blaming Donald Trump for the synogogue shooting in Pittsburgh over the weekend. Suddenly, a man with Jewish grandchildren is an anti-Semite. Mid-term elections are a week away. Can you tell? “Ordinarily, a politician cannot be held responsible for the actions of a deranged follower,” Adam Serwer writes in The Atlantic. But these are…
