Yes, it was a joke. A sick, twisted perverted joke. And it encouraged violence much more than Democrats saying to fight back.

I wonder how jocular Scalise would be about a joke in which shooting him is the punchline. Har-har, Steve!

Then the one about Trump allowing MBS to savagely murder a US-based journalist will leave you rolling on the floor.

I wish I had a nickel for every f-bomb a GOP member of Congress or party leader from county chair up has dropped while talking in private about how much cleaning up after Trump’s inflammatory comments they have to do. I could buy and sell Bloomberg.

Exactly. It’s like me making finger guns, pointing them at Scalise, and making “pew pew” noises.

I used to feel sorry for this asshole when we got shot. I don’t anymore. Screw these right wing traitors.

The decency and integrity expected of elected officials is a joke?

I guess it never occurs to these geniuses that you aren’t supposed to make fun of somebody getting hurt. Did they not attend kindergarten?

Steve, there is nothing funny about applauding a violent assault against a member of the media or anyone else. 5 members of the Capital Gazette newsroom were killed earlier this year and it was not funny. It is not funny nor a joke that WaPo columnist Jamal Kashoggi was tortured, murdered, and dismembered. Violence and the celebration of it is not a joke. If Donald Trump had one iota of common decency, he would not have lauded Gianforte’s assault on a reporter.

Mr. Scalise, when you were shot, it was condemned by everyone including Nancy Pelosi.

Mr. Scalise, I hope you get shot, multiple times. Maybe at a softball game?

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, see, a joke. I’m sure your family found that joke very funny.

Monster.
