On her 12 p.m. ET hour show on Wednesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell was worried that the clear Democratic affiliation and left-wing activism of the shooter who attacked members of Congress was going to be “swept up” in coverage of the violence and exploited by “partisans.”
She acknowledged that alleged shooter James T. Hodgkinson “was a volunteer in [Bernie] Sanders’ campaign” and that “within his mental condition, there was, at least he felt, some sort of political motivation, as horrible as that is to even address.” Correspondent Garrett Haake – reporting from the scene of the attack in Alexandria, Virginia – worried: “...you are seeing the suspect’s political activities get swept up into this....already the political and apparently anti-Republican leanings of this suspect are getting drawn into the conversation...”
Mitchell echoed that sentiment: “Yeah, and we can see that he, in still photos, has in the past been a protester. This will inevitably be swept up through social media.”
Talking to Senator Claire McCaskill later on the program, Mitchell fretted: “Do you have concerns, we just heard from Senator Sanders, that partisans on both sides are going to try to take advantage of the fact this alleged shooter was in some way connected to protests against Republicans?”
The Missouri Democrat replied:
I hope not. This is not the first time a member of Congress has been shot by someone who clearly was not well and had evil in their heart. I hope it’s the last. But it is, I think, a big mistake to use this as a moment to find division among us, to take sides, to sign up for teams, to play gotcha politics.
McCaskill was quite right, six years ago, Arizona Congressman Gabrielle Giffords and several others were shot by Jared Loughner outside a grocery store on a Saturday morning. At that time, Democrats and liberal media figures like Mitchell had no problem jumping to false conclusions that the shooting was somehow inspired by Sarah Palin or conservative Tea Party activists.
Just two days after that attack, Mitchell began a report for NBC’s Today by proclaiming: “Sarah Palin responded to the tragedy in Tucson by offering condolences and prayers on her Facebook page. And while there is no indication that this suspect was inspired, in any way, by political speech the attack has reopened criticism of the way Palin targeted Gabby Giffords and 19 other Democrats in last year’s campaign.”
The liberal journalist wasn’t at all concerned with her reporting being “swept up” in politics or “partisans” trying to “take advantage” of the situation. So what’s changed?
While it would clearly be wrong to blame Bernie Sanders, who strongly condemned Wednesday’s shooting, or the Democratic Party at large for the violent actions of one disturbed individual, it was beyond outrageous for those on the left and in the press to do exactly that to the GOP in 2011.
If Mitchell and her colleagues want to be taken seriously when calling for political unity in times of crisis, they should first apologize for stoking such division in the past.
Yet Loughner was a Leftist, and targeted Giffords because she wasn't leftist 'enough'.
Granted, Loughner was insane - but he was a Democrat/Leftist, yet the Media pushed the the meme that Sarah Palin triggered the attack by targeting her district to elect a Republican. And the Obama administration pushed this false meme by turning it into a campaign rally.
If we had a real Media - and not a hate spewing propaganda machine of the DNC - we'd get less of these attacks.

Guess Andrea Missile doesn't have any idea how to spin herself out of that fact. I sure hope this helps turn the RATS chances into burnt toast.
Scrotum face is my new nickname for her, thanks.
She is probably safe with 99% of the MSM in not making too much of that story line. At ease, Andrea.
MSM will rue the day they have the other meaning of partisan activity and consequences displayed for them.
Sheesh!
Hmmm... you mean like how the Democrats exploited the shooting of Gabby Giffords? Like that, Andrea? Go way crazy woman.
The demonrat politicians, the demonrat media, the demonrat party ALL Publicly egg on their supporters to commit violent acts against republicans for years and years, and now someone is concerned that the republicans might use the killers party affiliation politically???
Is it a Requirement to Smoke Crack if you are a Democrat Politician or News Reader??
Mitchell, you decrepit and shriveled up old b*tch...you’re part of the sedition and treason.
Just go back after the shooting that IMMEDIATELY blamed Sarah for!!!! Ok tv CLICK!
Another firearm has been found to be responsible for the injury of several citizens with bullets. This time a high power rifle shot a number of rounds into the bodies of a number of victims.
The person holding the rifle was killed by police weapons, ending the ability of the rifle to continue its barrage. It is not known whether this weapon had fired at citizens before this occasion.
The weapon has been taken into custody and will be remanded to a police evidence locker until such time as its final disposition can be determined..
They blamed it on the right until they found out that it was one of their own (a fact that this writer breezed over).
She is just upset this may interfere with her 24/7 impeachment coverage.
I’m not worried. I keep my friend, Ruger, handy.
Gee i hope the fact hes a radical muslim doesnt get mentioned.
Gee i hope the fact hes a radical democrat activist doesnt get mentioned.
Same people who have said on air they hope bombers and shooters were going to turn out to be whites. But didn’t.
More like “swept under the rug” by the media.
“But it is, I think, a big mistake to use this as a moment to find division among us, to take sides, to sign up for teams, to play gotcha politics.”
Tell me the last time a leftie has ever said something like this when they think they can use the politics of a shooter to THEIR advantage???
Oh wait, that would be never.
1. A long list of celebrities wishing harm on the President since November 8, 2016.
2. A play in New York City that is a brazen celebration of attacking the President.
3. Kathy Griffin's disgusting stunt showing a bloody head in effigy of the President.
Is it small wonder why things like this are happening?
They do it even when the opposite doesn’t happen! Remember all the handwringing about Trump “fomenting violence” when it was leftists out there committing all the violence?
They’re just dissembling now that they can’t try to paint this shooter as a “right wing extremist”, and they have no other talking points to use.
