New Civility: Nebraska Democrat Doubles Down on Saying Republicans Getting Shot "Was Funny"

It's been just 48 hours since Republican lawmakers and their staff members were gunned down on a field in Alexandria by a Bernie Sanders volunteer while practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game. Republican Whip Steve Scalise is still in critical condition at the hospital and has undergone a number of surgeries after being shot in the pelvis.

In reaction to the attack, Nebraska Democrat Chelsey Gentry-Tipton said it was funny to watch Republicans who were on the field get emotional when recalling what happened during media interviews. After calls for a new civility, unity and her resignation, Gentry-Tipton is doubling down.

From the Omaha-World Herald

A Nebraska Democratic Party official has refused calls to resign her volunteer position after calling reactions to this week’s shooting of a high-ranking Republican member of Congress “so funny” on social media.
Chelsey Gentry-Tipton of Omaha said in statement that she will not resign as chairwoman of the party’s Black Caucus, saying her post was taken out of context by party officials.
The Nebraska party’s leadership asked Gentry-Tipton to step down Wednesday, several hours after she wrote, in a Facebook thread about the shooting at in Alexandria, Virginia, “Watching the congressman crying on live tv abt the trauma they experienced. Y is this so funny tho?”
Later, in the same thread, she stated, “The very people that push pro NRA legislation in efforts to pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life. Yeah, having a hard time feeling bad for them.”

The question now is, what does the DNC have to say about this? Will newly minted Chairman Tom Perez, who said at a recent rally that Republicans "don't give a damn about people," step in? Or will he allow her to continue in her position as a representation of the Democrat Party?

On behalf of all normal Omaha area residents, I apologize to my fellow Freepers for the bilge that spilled from the pie hole of this moonbat.

She’s obviously a person who is very sick in the head.

Omaha was Malcolm X's birthplace.

She's keeping up the tradition. Remember Malcolm's reaction to the JFK assassination.

Without lies, deceit, and treachery, the Democrat Party would not exist.

I love it when the black leftists keep sticking their often racist feet into their always open mouths.

They are a disgrace to decent black Americans.

Let’s see if this Maxine Waters’ junior is ousted or promoted by the state Democrat Party.

Nebraska - I’m willing to bet that there are some sane Democrats left out there who know what human decency is. If so, “Do the right thing”.

I couldn’t believe most of the comments people wrote in the newspaper. Wow, this country is worse off than I thought. Most of the people defended this horrible woman.

WE should make her the face of the Democrat party. Her and the idiot from New Jersey who pushes “Hunt Republican Congressmen” and “Hunt Republicans.” They should be front and forward for what the Democrat party has become.

No; it is not.

People write all KINDS of stuff to 'newspapers'.

The EDITORS select which ones to print that will advance the Leftist cause.

MOST newspapers in this country are Liberal owned and operated.

With what happened recently in London and Alexandria, Va this past week:

This rat's mocking innocent unarmed people, sums up why our second amendment is probably our most important amendment!

A few days ago, the mayor of London said that global warming was the biggest threat..

After the terror attacks, London’s Iman Jihadist Mayor sticks with “safest global city in the world” line

Years ago, Churchill said:

Now after 7 decades of Brit PC bs and disarming the good Brits, this is their new rule!
