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.”

Bernie Sanders is a complete scumbag
You are part of the problem Mr. FREE FREE FREE
Rember you started it , can you see your life before you standing in the dark ,
Peace and understanding, old song from the dumacratic playbook, now it’s kill and destroy
Don’t worry, we conservatives will.
From the idiot who told Trump to tone down the rhetoric
Socialist$#%&!@*!!
Just shoot the bitch
Poor delusional Bernie. Can’t get over losing.
It’s all a plane, mankind is done, 2030 , no more people better believe in God. Your head will be cut off. Look to the zodiac, that is what the world is about.
