Suspect in congressional shooting was Bernie Sanders supporter, strongly anti-Trump [2017]

James T. Hodgkinson, the man identified as shooting a Republican member of congress and four others on Wednesday morning, was a small business owner in Illinois who defined himself publicly by his firm support of Bernie Sanders' progressive politics -- and his hatred of conservatives and President Donald Trump.

This is based on CNN's review of Hodgkinson's Facebook profiles, public records, and three years of impassioned letters to his local newspaper. "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co." he posted on his personal Facebook page on March 22. "Republicans are the Taliban of the USA," he posted in February.

From 3 years ago.

But if the dems screw Bernie out of the nomination we might see more of it.

He was ahead of his time.

Now almost ALL Democrats spew this same garbage and still have the gall to say that Trump and Republicans are advocating violence.

Since the press doesn't replay story-lines showcasing liberal violence, this story was forgotten. Yes, Hodgkinson shot Rep. Steve Scalise and attempted to kill many other Republicans. The press buried the story.

If a Trump supporter has attempted to murder a dozen Democrat House and Senate members - and almost killed one - every Trump supporter in the country would have been painted with the same killer brush. AND the story would be memorialized in the halls of the FBI and ‘intelligence’...

But a Bernie supporter? It's a three year old story without legs.

The surprise? The press (thug arm of the democrat party) needs take Bernie down ory - and we'll see more of this story in the future.

That was a huge deal and should never ever be forgotten

I can’t remember any time in history when some idiot open fired on a bunch of congressman

Bernie is a stone cold communist and all of his supporters are completely nuts
