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:
First thing to run through his mind??? Maybe because there’s nothing else in there to stop traffic!
We dont need Gun control, we need Democrat control. When you have the entire Democratic party and MSM. calling for resistance and violence, condoning the assassination of President Trump. announcing that all Trump supporters should be shot, what did you expect to happen. These top ranking Politicians, TV commentators and Hollywood elites are people that their followers look up to, so now these crazies think it is ok.
he’s lying like hell i went to fbi website and it showed almost 4 times more rapes in this country than shootings. thd
gun control is not the answer idiot
When are people in “power” going to realize you will never get rid of guns…drugs are against the law and that sure has stopped them..
Using a tragedy to further you own agenda is very distasteful…
and once again we ignore the rhetoric on a 24 hour basis driving the ones with mental disorders in to a dark dark world. Once once again those damn guns must stop walking all over america firing on people by themselves.without those guns by the good guys out there each of these shootings would have been ten times worse.. Americans learned their lessons during the revolutionary war and it won’t happen again. the actual fbi websites has it less than these odds listed so NO guns do not kill people. EVIL KILLS PEOPLE..
IDIOT!
Democrats need to understand that we don’t have a gun problem. We have a crime and immigration problem. Stop bringing so many illegal immigrants and this$#%&!@*will stop.
They prey on society’s most venerable. They prey on those who need support most for power, wealth and political gain. Blacks, hispanics, the poor, Muslims, gays, workers and basically any underdog. They disgust me at this point.
Sick SOB ,people have just been shoot by a democrat and this idiot used it as a platform to promote the democrats gun control agenda.
