'Failure will have serious consequences'
Left-wing activists are threatening to shut down the Congressional Baseball Game five years after a far-left gunman shot up the bipartisan event, almost killing House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.
A climate activist group called Now or Never on Wednesday unveiled a three-part plan that starts with shutting down the annual game to force action from Democratic leaders, who the group says are guilty of refusing "to act boldly" on issues like climate change, abortion, and voting rights "for fear it will be too ‘polarizing.'" Now or Never's parent organization, the Action Network, is located at the same address as a group funded by liberal multibillionaire George Soros.
"On July 28th, we will converge en masse on the Congressional Baseball Game. If our politicians have failed to deliver, we will shut it down," Now or Never's website says. "We will not stand by, watching them play games while the world burns. Everything we love is at stake. Our safety, our future, our one and only home. It's time to leave everything on the field."
Those threats come five years after James Hodgkinson, a former campaign volunteer for socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), showed up at Republicans' practice for the game and shot Scalise, a congressional staffer, a lobbyist, and two Capitol Police officers. All of the victims survived, though Scalise was seriously injured. Police officers shot and killed Hodgkinson in a gunfight.
Now or Never's threats do not stop with the baseball game. If Congress does not enact "strong climate legislation" by Aug. 5, Now or Never will "see to it that Democratic senators hear from us when they fly home empty handed," the website says.
If the group still doesn't get what it wants by Sept. 30, it will take "highly disruptive, mass direct action that fundamentally disrupts business as usual in D.C."
"Failure will have serious consequences," the group warned.
Has the fbi refused to investigate yet ?
Cool. Let’s stop the foreplay and get down to the civil war. Past time.
They will call it “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” and call it a day.
How many leftist lunatics has the FBI groomed for this effort?
“All of the victims survived, though Scalise was seriously injured. Police officers shot and killed Hodgkinson in a gunfight.”
If these dumbasses get violent, I hope the Police take out the garbage again.
“If these dumbasses get violent, I hope the Police take out the garbage again.”
If the authorities wanted to stop this sh!t, they would have. It’s time to break the glass of the 2nd Amendment.
I hope everyone attending concealed carries.
but yet ‘white supremacy groups are the most dangerous groups in America’ according to the left-
when is the last time a white supremacist group attacked anyone? Also- white supremacists are a production of liberal organization- but now they claim that they are right wing extremist group?
“but yet ‘white supremacy groups are the most dangerous groups in America’ according to the left”
And according to our treasonous False Tyrant. They don’t want you to have legitimate grievance. They want to paint normal Americans as “extremists” while the truly extreme Communists terrorize our communities, indoctrinate our children, and murder our political leaders.
Reminds me of being a recruit on Parris Island in the early 90’s, standing at attention while DI’s hit us, and don’t you dare hit back or even flinch! And that is what this Communist, treasonous government is doing to Patriots. You just stand there at attention while our leftist domestic terrorists beat on you. Don’t you DARE hit back.
Very true- they unbelievably named Soccer Moms as ‘domestic terrorists’
Why are they even holding the game anymore? We’re supposed to believe that they’re all colleagues and buddies behind the scenes?
When are they gonna start putting Reichsfuhrer Garland’s photo on milk cartons? “MISSING: Have you seen this fascist?”
Why don't the Dims pass a law that the CLIMATE IS NOT ALLOWED TO CHANGE.
> “...far-left gunman shot up the bipartisan event”
I thought the shooting was at a Republican only practice.
Yhea, they are buddies in the same club and we are not in it.
