A rifle was reportedly seen near third base.

The MSM has been fanning the flame of hatred toward the GOP in general and Trump in particular. This is not only the type of fallout one can expect when you dehumanize your opponent relentlessly 24 hours a day, it is also the response the MSM *wants*.

NBC has a chyron up on their live coverage. No mention that Pubbies were the people targeted.

ABC and CBS same deal. No mention on chyrons that GOPers/Pubbies targeted. Just generic “congressman”.

NBC and CNN and the other contemptable MSM
will probably claim it was a “robbery gone wrong”, as
when Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC.

Looks like security personnel were targeted first. If so, bet perp’s not a nutter...

Well... it's a serious situation so I'll try to contain my sarcasm.

They, the MSM that is, will try to blame Scalise himself or Trump for it. You watch.

The only question is: was it Podesta/Clinton/DNC or ISIS?

Well, if it is a nutter and not a professional terrorist, how the Hell did a nutter with a long gun get that close?!

US Capitol police, not USSS with Scalise? If true, that bloody well may explain a lot.

Some people really do want a civil war. Imagine if this were the House MINORITY whip, I think that is Steny Hoyer. The network fake news organizations would be screaming “Trump is fomenting hate!”

Mo Brooks is giving great details about the events from his perspective. I am impressed how he calm and collected he is while describing the events.

I want to repeat this; as I posted on another thread about this horrific act.

To All:
We need to keep saying prayers to our God for help, for courage and for the strength to keep our beloved USA safe and free.
