Joe now reporting shooter was in/behind 3rdbase dugout with clear view of field

Flake was with Rand and the aide that went over the fence - they’re ok. Capitol policewoman airlifted

If Scalise hadn’t been there, there would have been NO security. rand Paul was “complaining” that this will force Congresspeople to curtail their own freedom.

This weekend, my son got to raise the US flag over Fort Sumter.

Wrong flag.

I don’t understand why congressmen themselves wouldn’t be armed in such an open setting—especially these days. Do they not know what a tinderbox this country is?

Yep, I demand a Congressional hearing. Schumer and Pelosi should be called up to account for all of their hate speech against Republicans.

Nobody would have survived without Capitol police...Would have been massacre without them.”

Politicians and celebs have armed security. We don't. Always carry and don't let any of the Ruling Elites take your 2nd Amendment rights away.

Reported on Fox Business, Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX) was also shot on the scene.

Not true. He injured himself as he jumped in the dugout. That is the latest.

I just got suspended on Twitter for suggesting the Scalise hit was caused by an Atmosphere of violence on the part of Democrats and they were waging Civil War II

I am about to break major racketeering stuff on Harry Reid that will lead all the way up to Podesta so I need my account restored. Anyone on Twitter, please start a campaign to release:

@DaxtonBrown

Very important. Thanks.

-- are cnn and msnbc going to be charged or even condemned for hate crime incitement? --

Sure, but it won't get any traction.

Alexandria police statement is more or less "no comment," will keep the public posted as information is corroborated. 5 people transported from the scene (I assume that includes the shooter)

We almost lost quite a few Congress today. Incredible luck that dumb ass shooter picked a day when scalise and his detail were there

Credible witnesses (Flake) said the shooter was moving around, using various objects for cover including dugouts.

BS, Paul. If you guys had any brains and/or b@lls, you’d see to your own security, including hiring your own and/or arming yourselves. Frigging PC sheeple.
