CONGRESS BASEBALL SHOOTER IS A TRUMP HATER... Called to 'Destroy' Him
TMZ ^ | 2017-06-14

Posted on 06/14/2017 8:16:53 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The man suspected of opening fire at a congressional baseball practice is 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson ... and judging by his social media, he REALLY hates Donald Trump.

Hodgkinson's Facebook page is loaded with anti-Trump posts. He's also a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter. Also notable, Hodgkinson is also anti-Hillary Clinton, with several posts about her as well.

Among the posts on his page, there's one that stands out from March which says, "Trump is Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co."

I must be missing something. Was DJT at the baseball practice?

When Bernie Sanders supporters start firing on Republican Congressmen perhaps it is time for the left to start toning down their political hate rhetoric.

Just a thought.

Yep, and the MSM will play it that way. Then you’ll see liberals all over the country issuing sound bites about how this is all due to Trump’s racism or whatever, and that this is even more reason to “get rid of” our beloved POTUS.

When Bernie Sanders supporters start firing on Republican Congressmen perhaps it is time for the right to consider pre-emptive strikes.

They must be held responsible.

They will never be held responsible. They believe, and have already stated, that violent reaction to conservative lawmakers is the fault of the passage of conservative laws. They take zero responsibility for inciting this violence.

Again, they've made it plain what we already knew, viz. they will only be satisfied with monologue. Not dialogue. And theirs is the only monologue allowed.

American conservatives had better wake up. And I mean wake up beyond merely putting Donald Trump in the White House. President Trump is merely a temporary reprieve from our destruction unless we get off our lethargic, passive seats.

Meanwhile, Trump needs to acknowledge treason and sedition from the highest levels of government and society and deal with it accordingly. We're at war and so far, we're the only ones who won't admit it.

Jonathan Priuss was someone on his friends who was advocating violence.

Not just a “supporter,” but an active campaigner, traveling to other states to campaign for Bernie, very plugged into his campaign.

If this moron was even a decent shot it would have been so much worse.

By outside appearances, he looks like any other up in age American man. Somebody semi or fully retired, slightly overweight, and casually dressed. Someone you would pass by in a grocery store without attracting any attention.

Unknown is what pushed him from merely stewing about politics to acting out with a murderous intent that was guaranteed to change or end his life forever.
You have to wonder if early Alzheimers is not a part of this man’s actions. The media is partially to blame for fanning the fires of partisan hatred. I just heard the gunman is dead. It’s for the best.

How did this anarchist/socialist from Illinois know the GOP would be playing baseball at 6-7AM at this exact location this morning? I suspect he did not act alone, or certainly left a wide trail in planning this insanity.
