A Nebraska Democratic Party official was removed from his post on Thursday after an audio recording surfaced of him saying he's “glad” House Majority Whip Steve Scalise got shot last week.
Phil Montag, now-former co-chair of the state party’s technology committee, was recorded saying he wishes Scalise, R-La., were “dead.”
“His whole job is to get people, convince Republicans to [expletive] kick people off [expletive] health care. I’m glad he got shot,” Montag said in the audio recording. “I wish he was [expletive] dead.”
The audio was posted on YouTube. Nebraska Democratic Chairwoman Jane Kleeb confirmed to FOX 42 that the voice on the audio recording was, in fact, Montag’s.
“We obviously condemn any kind of violence whether it’s comments on Facebook or comments in a meeting,” Kleeb said. “Our country is better than the political rhetoric that is out there from both the far right and the far left.”
Montag, in an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, said his words were taken out of context and he was "horrified" by the shooting.
“I did not call for the congressman’s death,” Montag reportedly said.

the’re all glad; this guy’s just being honest about it.
Wish I could argue with you, but that seems to pretty much sum it up.

This is a good sign.
Democrats are usually given a pass. The more Democrats loose their jobs, lose endorsements, or go to jail, the more chance that we are restoring sanity to this country.
Of course you are...
And of course your ^$#&* words were taken out of context.
Unfortunately for you, the get your ^$#&* ass out of ^$#&* here was ^$#&* dead serious!
and ^$#&* STAY OUT!!
^$#&* LOSER!!
They had no choice. Too offensive to survive. They are not totally brain dead but close.
What is it with IT guys and the DNC?
They should get Hazard pay . . .
I find it ironic that someone concerned about people’s health would wish someone dead.
People should “reach out” and touch our colleague on the other side of the isle with phone calls and emails.

THIS:
>>>“I wish he was [expletive] dead.”<<<
Doesn’t quite jive with THIS:
>>>Montag, in an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, said his words were taken out of context and he was “horrified” by the shooting<<<
Or THIS:
>>>“I did not call for the congressman’s death,” Montag reportedly said<<<
Deny, deny, deny, even if your Pants are wrapped around your Ankles. Thus guy must think he is a Clinton. LOL
I once had a boss named Montag. I considered him more or less a Richard Cranium. The head of another department, a peer of Montag’s opined that he had the personality of a turd. Upon hearing that, I felt vindicated.
It’s Flounder!
He DOES look like Flounder.
An IT guy & DNC emails were hacked, RICH!!
Montag, in an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, said his words were taken out of context.
He’s a dead ringer for “Whale” who is.
The REAL Flounder, Steven Durst, died a few days ago. If I didn’t think he was much of an actor, do I get to say “I’m glad the #$%^&* is dead!”? Or is that reserved for Leftists?
They preach beheadings, assassination, torture, murder and mayhem, and still think we should give up our firearms? MOLON lABE. Now more than ever.
