It’s definitely emotional. It’s also perfectly logical.

If you don’t think so, you should demonstrate the flaw in the logic, rather than simply asserting that it’s illogical.

A bullet-hole was found in the window and a bullet was found in the office. The police were called immediately. During the time the police were conducting their investigation the room would certainly not have been in use unless by authority of the police. While waiting for the police report Cantor called a news conference to complain about the scandalous accusations being flung around by the Dems concerning the threats. During that news conference, Cantor is quoted to have tangentially said that “a bullet was shot through the window” of his office, and he pointed out that he had not tried to blame any Congressmen for having instigated that event. Fox then proceeded to jump all over the shooting angle and blew it out of all proportion.
That is my assessment of what happened, and I can only describe some other reactions as being emotional, illogical and false.
