The man in the above photo was a Democrat. I say “was” because the 66-year-old James Hodgkinson was killed after shooting up a baseball field outside of Washington, D.C., where Republicans were practicing for the Congressional baseball game. GOP Rep. Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, was shot in the hip and four others were also injured. Thankfully, Capitol police were able to stop his evil rampage. Hodgkinson hated Trump and loved Bernie Sanders. I point his political affiliation out, because the media seems incapable of doing so. The Washington Examiner has the scoop:
Up until a recreational congressional Republican baseball practice was shot up last week, the news media had been anticipating violence from one side. It just happened to be the wrong side.
Now after more than a year of suspiciously eyeing only President Trump supporters and Republicans for any sudden movements, the media are calling for “civility” from “both sides.”
Um, both sides? What?
n the face of all evidence that Hodgkinson was a Democrat animated to go on a shooting rampage by his own political frustrations, New York Times political reporter Glenn Thrush looked to Trump.
“Any debate about civility in politics begins with Trump,” he said Thursday on Twitter. “No one has degraded discourse more, while embracing the fringe.”
Whatever “fringe” Trump appealed to, none of them have picked up an assault rifle to gun down a congressman.
That was a Bernie Bro.
They try to blame Republicans and Trump for everything, even when the murderous maniac is clearly motivated ONLY by his leftist ideology. It’s time the Democrats take a hard look at themselves. Hodgkinson was a Democrat. Deal with it.
Blame Democrats… because they are to blame.
