Rep. DeSantis: Shooting Suspect Asked if ‘Republicans or Democrats’ on Field
NBC News ^ | 6/14/2017 | Daniella Silva

A GOP lawmaker said Wednesday that the alleged gunman in a shooting at a congressional baseball practice that wounded five asked whether “Republicans or Democrats” were on the field shortly before the attack in Virginia.

Rep. Ron DeSantis, (R-Fla.), told CNBC that a man came up to him and Rep. Jeff Duncan, (R-S.C.), at the practice and asked if the players on the field were Republicans or Democrats.

“We both agreed that that individual who came up to us and asked if it was Republicans or Democrats ... is the same individual police have identified," DeSantis said. "That picture is the same guy that we saw.”

The man approached him and Duncan in their car and asked who was playing, and Duncan responded that they were Republicans, DeSantis said.

Right, because we'll never know what he would have done if the answer was "Democrats", will we?

NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, and ABC are GETTING AWAY with MURDER.

They have egged on every murderous killing by
Hillary- and Bernie-supporters,
that did not come from the top.

Yahoo news had a headline that said “What We Know.”

But, by late afternoon, they apparently did not know anything about this guy’s political leanings or crazed farcebook rants.

Poster Comment on Daily Mail:

Elizabeth Warren commented “James Hodgkinson was a good, solid Democrat - a class warrior in the truest sense of a warrior, just like my Native American ancestors at Little Big Horn.”

My congressman was late to baseball practice. He was at a physical. I never heard a peep from the Socialist (Dem) leader condemning the shooter. If someone in the conservative wing ever shot a liberal, Nancy, Hillary, Chuckie, Ms TennisShoe (Patty Murray), Senator BloomingIdiot, Senator SpeakingBull and Bernie would be finding an open microphone to denounce Trump and the Tea Party.
