A staff member of a Mississippi Democratic congressman took to social media and said she wished the shooter who tried to take Donald Trump's life had better aim.

On Saturday evening, shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, attempted to assassinate the former president during a rally in Pennsylvania, Jacqueline Marsaw, the field director for Mississippi Congressman Bennie G. Thompson shared a vile post on Facebook about the attack.

Trump was left bloodied and hurt during the assassination attempt as he was seen suddenly grabbing hold of his ear as loud bangs rang out and whizzed by before he ducked to the floor.

Marsaw, 61, the president and vice president of a local NAACP in Natchez, Mississippi, garnered attention of Republicans across the country. She has since deleted the post and her account, but screenshots have been reposted across social media.

She shared: 'I don't condone violence but please get some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops that wasn't me talking.'

Marsaw has since been fired from her position. 'I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment,' Thompson said.

In a follow up post, she said: 'That's what your hate speech got you!!'

Marsaw, who is also secretary, president and vice president of a local NAACP, was previously venerated as a 'hometown hero' by WJTV.
