The gunman who opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice session this morning has been identified as a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.  Sixty-six-year-old James T. Hodgkinson from Belleville, Illinois, was killed by Capitol Police after firing up to 100 rounds from an assault rifle at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, leaving four injured including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

Hodgkinson was a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter and campaigned for the left-wing senator to get the Democratic nomination for president last year. The union tradesman, threatened to 'destroy' the president and his administration on social media.

He was shot by two U.S. Capitol Police officers who were accompanying Scalise to Eugene Simpson Stadium Park for the scheduled baseball practice ahead of Thursday night's charity match.

The Left has realized that it can't win at the ballot box, so it will try to win via the cartridge box.

Just saw a “Don’t blame me, I voted for Bernie” bumper sticker in the parking lot this morning. Ironic.

You can bet that all those oily creeps who cheered the mock assassination of Pres. Trump on stage popped their champagne corks today.

Good thing the Libs don't know how to use guns.

Shooting ranges should exclude DemocRats

Anyone following the radical turns of the left knows worse violence is inevitable. If you call your opponents racist Nazis and worse, they can be killed like Nazis. The left is teaching people disgusting hateful principles. And financing violent mobs. This is a logical progression.

He fired 100 rounds and the only fatality is his own self. 😊

I went on the guys Facebook page before the took it down and grabbed around 20 screen captures of his posts.

In addition to being a huge Bernie support he also has the Koch brother hysteria and a couple anti cop statements.

President Trump should round up domestic terrorists like this POS and send them to Gitmo.

[Red Badger]

This guy fired ‘over 100 rounds’ and didn’t kill anybody................

[wally_bert]

Sounds almost like a scene from an A-Team episode.

President Trump should round up domestic terrorists like this POS and send them to Gitmo.

Maybe now that congressman are involved, they will get off their fat-happy arses and do something about those seditious and traitorous people who are inciting this violence.

They can start with Kathy Griffin and the heads of the news networks and work their way down. Also include other radical leftists who are inciting violence against the President or other Americans or those behind this movement like George Soros. This NEEDS to happen.

Good work you FR sloop.

[TXBlair]

Lol.

[LibWhacker]

A Trump hating Bernie supporter with a violent streak. For every cockroach you see, there are a thousand you don’t see. The LSM can be sure it’s stirred up a whole nest of them, and I’m sure it’s proud. Bastards.

[ColdOne]

Where is his family? X-wife? Children? Did he live in Illinois? They have strict gun laws.
