3:05pm- According to documents obtained by The New York Times, the Colorado Club Q shooting suspect identifies as non-binary and uses “they/them” pronouns. Could this impact hate crime charges that have been brought against the shooter? In the aftermath of the shooting, journalists and news anchors, most notably NBC’s Ben Collins and MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, began blaming Republican rhetoric for violence against members of the LGBTQ+ community. Will their employers reprimand them for pushing a personally preferred narrative without facts to corroborate those preferences?

3:30pm- When news broke that the Colorado Club Q shooting suspect identified as non-binary, CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota and political commentator Errol Louis suggested this may be a ploy by the shooter’s lawyer to help avoid a hate crime conviction.
