Bernie Sanders found himself at the center of the Steve Scalise shooting this week after it was revealed that the shooter was an avid and active Sanders supporter. Now, something the senator has said is getting him in hot water.
Sanders was initially praised for his condemnation of the violence — which is a pretty low bar, but good to see nonetheless in these times of partisan extremism.
But the bipartisan praise of Sanders may have come too soon. While he may have condemned the action itself, he doesn’t seem to be changing his extreme rhetoric against Republicans. His latest comments, which came right after the shooting, are actually pretty explicit. He wants his supporters to go after Republicans “in every way.”
Watch video of Sanders making the suggestion on the next page:
Thats right bernie put another nail in the democrats coffin. You go ahead show the Amercan people just how low you democrats are.
I wish sanders would go away
Great, an old ducked up Communist inciting violence.
Shut up Bernie. You’re a fool. Maybe you’ll be the next victim so you’ll be there.
It is truly sad to call you grown ups since nary one of you can accept your party lost. Your own actions will kill your party! So glad I saw this years back. I am and always will be a proud American but a democrat never more.
They have nothing for America!
Spread hate, that’s their messege, and they wonder why they keep losing. We are tired of this hate, and fight our own people, give it a break, find a new messege.
No difference between Bernie Sanders and that girl that cohorst her boyfriend to kill himself they both need to be in jail.
Does that mean killing people???
Sanders is a sick scum bucket
