Democrats love to use violence to push their political agenda — and this week provided two very good, connected examples.
The first was, of course, the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise. The shooter, 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, was a far-left Bernie Sanders supporter who was known for his anti-Trump views on social media. While the motive is not yet known, reports indicate that Hodgkinson was specifically seeking out Republican victims.
Sanders has since condemned the attack.
But not all liberal politicians are totally distancing themselves from the gruesome act of violence. Virginal Governor Terry McAuliffe may have spoken against the shooting, but he also used the senseless attack to push his own politician agenda.
McAuliffe may not have pulled the trigger, but he’s certainly trying to reap the rewards by capitalizing on the fallout.
See what he said that has so many irked on the next page:
We already have gun control laws ! Enforce the ones on the books . NO NEED FOR NEW LAWS !
We need our guns to protect ourselves against violent Democrats.
They supposedly lead us but don’t know how and why ? How can we elect such morons ?
ChitDah Rogers exactly the very ones that scream gun control are the very ones that need it the most, i find that somewhat amusing
Both Gabby Gifford and Republican shootings were committed by Democrats! Stop your Violent Rhetoric, hate, demonizing, liberal broadcasting lies, hate and things will improve! Start taking guns from registered Democrats because they pose a threat to Society!
