Nobody.
Is.
Saying.
That.

" Politicians and the media are exploiting this guy's mental illness and the resulting tragedy, and intentionally misrepresenting it for political purposes."

Explain please. If white nationalism has something to do with the shooting, how are they misrepresenting it by saying it has something to do with the shooting?

Because they aren't saying it had 'something' to do with the shooting. Like you, they are saying it is the singular defining and key component. That without this piece, none of the other pieces lead to this result.

It's pretty obvious what we're saying.... and your comment about it was crystal clear. Without this aspect, the sum of the other contributors don't lead us to this act. I find it unbelievable that you don't understand it.
