This kind of rage is scary but since he wasn’t armed with an AR-15 I have to wonder if it was something different that the ordinary MAGA rage. I wonder what his story is.

The republicans control the House, and nothing has really been passed, except for their pathetic budget offering. What have the dems been able to accomplish as the minority party that would get this jerk that riled up?

He probably wanted to prove that banning guns doesn’t stop RW terrorism
But really he proved the damage less widespread if there wasn’t guns.

It might be a constituent concern. Most of the work done by local offices has to do with the issues of constituents. Everything from Social Security or VA eligibility issues to support for local bridges or roads

What have they ever passed? I am old and I cannot recall one Republican legislative accomplishment in my lifetime. Oh wait, I am not a billionaire.

I’m assuming the suspect in custody is white… because a black man would have been shot.
Updated: So, this is a mentally disturbed person of Vietnamese persuasion. Still, interesting that he wasn’t shot on site.

@ronbyers He’d go to local officials for local issues, wouldn’t he? As for the other two, that might be more likely, but it doesn’t matter, because the baseball bat was a very bad idea.

Is this a satirical comment?
I might normally share your opinion, but just not now. Right wingers imposing bodily harm to Democrats? Ixnay. But thanks for sharing and condescending without an iota of empathy for the injured staffers.

Imagine what this did to the new intern, first day on the job. Probably won’t be sticking around.
