I’m waiting for Fox News to claim he’s an active Democrat. True or not, they’ll say it.

The link I just posted suggests that he hates Trump, hates Hillary, and campaigned for Bernie in Iowa…

“His Twitter profile shows that Hodgkinson is a left-wing supporter of Bernie Sanders who has also posted several memes on his Facebook page critical of President Donald Trump. He also called Georgia Republican congressional candidate Karen Handel a “b*tch” for saying she didn’t support a living wage during a debate with Democratic rival Jon Ossoff.”

Damn.

They are all over his being a big Bernie fan. Just like they did with the MAX murderer here in Portland.

Wonder why the following happened?

“Shooting Forces House To Cancel Hearings And Votes
One hearing was to consider easing restrictions on guns.”

Hodgkinson? That’s not very Muslimy-sounding

Why would Republicans be upset about the shooting of Republican Reps. today in D.C.?

This is just the bullet box and 2nd Amendment solution Trump and the GOP suggested.

It has been reported that the guy is wildly anti-Trump and anti-Hilary - but very pro-Sanders - and you can count on certain politicians pandering to extremist in their base by making statements that essentially will blame Sanders for this.

So, given the situation, a man with obvious mental health issues owning an assault rifle, goes into 2nd Amendment remedy mode.

Food for thought, huh?

In 1984 I was living in what is now Steve Scalise’s district. Every White person to a person including women all correctly thought that Ronald Reagan was shafting them but they loved Reagan because in their view he “is shafting Black people worse”. Actually, that is not a direct quote because they never used the words “Black people”.

Steve Scalise ran for congress claiming to be “David Dukes without the baggage.” David Dukes without the baggage is by definition a Ku Klux Klansman yet to reveal himself/with the hood still on. Now I regret seeing anyone shot and hope Scalise recovers. But his being shot does not change the fact that Scalise is who he claims he is, a classic race baiter who like many Republicans manipulate fear and hate to take from their supporters for political and personal financial gain.

I am sure that some on this board are relieved that he is a Bernie supporter and not a Hillary fan. :slight_smile:

Seriously he seems to be a pretty typical 66 year old white man except most, right or left, don’t resort to violence.

I am equally sure that you’re wrong.

The right will have fun with his Bernie support, but that’s to be expected.
Democrats will be blamed—which is all the right cares about.

The FB trolls are all over how this is an example of what socialism leads to. Violence against those who disagree with the socialist agenda.

And no, I am not making it up.

Well no, it is violence against everything. Everyone is frustrated and some just can’t contain themselves. Much the same way Trump can’t contain his bad behavior.

Everything bizarro that’s associated with this administration is what led Andy Borowitz to say he was having a harder time creating satirical pieces around this admin.
