The spew of hate toward republicans, and in favor of the shooter on Twitter is a sight to behold. The Civil War has begun, folks.
It’s all Trump’s fault. Some poor minority was lashing out at all the hatred, and the availability of guns./s
Also reports are that a Texas Congressman was shot too.
10 minutes for police to arrive. What if they dint have capital police with them. Sitting ducks. Need national constitutional carry, open or concealed, as we cannot rely on others for our defense.
Fort Sumter has been fired upon.
50 shots ?
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:

Very important. Thanks.
Just pulled your account up on twitter Last post 36 min ago
Texas Rep. Roger Williams was also hit and taken off in a stretcher, according to Chad Pergram of Fox News on Twitter.
No offense but the time for sarcasm has passed imo. It’s (what’s a polite word for sh**?) getting real. We’re heading into dangerous times my friends.
Since I’m blind, did they show any Scalise posts? I can’t even view other Tweets through my account. Nothing but an idiot page.
Is anyone else asking the question of why the shooter was no more accurate than he was with a rifle from behind third base towards second Base? Has he ever been to a range to practice at all? Scalice is very fortunate. The shooter had to be a novice.
ROGER WILLIAMS TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE was also shot.
Will grab screen shot...
I was thinking the same. This guy just got his hands on this weapon in the last week. No doubt about it.
That's my rep.
Texas Rep. Roger Williams was also hit and taken off in a stretcher, according to Chad Pergram of Fox News on Twitter.
“That’s my rep.”
Now Rep. Williams has said that he was not shot,( but was injured somehow), though he said that one of his aides was shot.
Your statement “The gunman pulled the trigger but the MSM handed him the gun” is right on the money!
The shot heard ‘round the world??
