A total of 30 Republican members of Congress have either been attacked or revealed that they were the victim of a death threat since the beginning of May.

May 8: Wendi Wright, 35, was arrested after stalking Rep. David Kustoff (Tenn.) and trying to run him off the road. After pulling over, Wright "began to scream and strike the windows on Kustoff's car and even reached inside the vehicle."

May 9: Virginia Rep. Tom Garrett needed heavy security at a town hall after receiving a series of death threats in May that police "deemed to be credible and real."

I haven’t heard of any Democrat Congressmen or women receiving death threats or any kind of threat...

Yet the liberal left claims the right is the violent group....

Until they start sentencing these people to long prison terms this will continue.

Yes....this is what happens when you demonize conservatives day in & day out. This has happened over a number of years, not just since Trump. The left has been on a mission to delegitimize ALL conservative ideas until their adherents see the right as less than human.

There’s no going back IMO....they have unleashed utter political madness. They are consumed by it.

And yet the best and brightest at the FBI seem baffled by the Scalise shooter’s motivation.

Leftist governments have killed over 100 million of their own citizens in the last 100 years. Those targeted were those who had capabilities and were not the people dependent on government support which fitted the communist mindset. Those killed or sent to be worked to death in labor camps were scientists, engineers, farmers, factory owners or managers and pretty much anyone with a college education.

Just like the democRATs today would like to do.

There comes a point when it’s time to stop being polite to them.

We’re long past that point.

I ignore them at work. I don’t talk about anything personal or political in any case....I work at a large east coast university. So you can imagine what this kind of environment is like.

True enough. Personally, I’d find another job. But if that’s not an option, watch your back around them.

It’s a good job. Been there forever, but like any job in such an institution there’s a lot of back-biting & petty office politics. Even if this was a conservative environment I would not be inclined to share too much personal info.

There is a humorous part to the job....listening to these leftists twits suffer under Trump is a joy to see. There were people crying at work the day after Trump’s election. I smiled inside watching their misery.

I understand that eating two strips of bacon every morning will prevent you from going full SJS (sudden jihad syndrome).

I highly recommend everyone to get their ration of free Bacon from Washington as often as possible.

“.. I smiled inside watching their misery....”

I’d have laughed in their faces.

After the last eight years of that insufferable Marxist douchebag that they foisted on us, they’re fair game.
