MSNBC's Velshi: Focusing on Nashville Shooter's Trans Identity 'Uniquely Dangerous' -- Trans People 'More Likely to Experience Violence'

On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight," guest host Ali Velshi argued that because "Trans people are already more likely to experience violence simply because they are trans people," focusing on the transgender identity of the Nashville school shooter "is uniquely dangerous, and we have to respond to that" "awful" "distraction" from pushes for more gun control in the United States.
