CONGRESS BASEBALL SHOOTER IS A TRUMP HATER... Called to 'Destroy' Him
TMZ ^ | 2017-06-14

Posted on 06/14/2017 8:16:53 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The man suspected of opening fire at a congressional baseball practice is 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson ... and judging by his social media, he REALLY hates Donald Trump.

Hodgkinson's Facebook page is loaded with anti-Trump posts. He's also a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter. Also notable, Hodgkinson is also anti-Hillary Clinton, with several posts about her as well.

Among the posts on his page, there's one that stands out from March which says, "Trump is Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co."

By claiming the Russians hacked our election they led this poor idiot to believe that Trump had destroyed our democracy.

In the midst of his delusions he probably genuinely believed that the Republicans were destroying democracy, and felt himself morally justified in doing what he did.

He’s a part of the ongoing Sanders campaign, I doubt there is collusion, but probably should be investigated.

By the Headline it could have been Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and/or Chuck Schumer.

He looks eerily like a Leftist kook who traveled from Nevada to Pittsburgh 18 years ago to kill Richard Scaife (was found dead in a mens room down the hall from Scaife’s private office!)

I think he HAD to be working with others. He doesn’t seem that bright from his FB page to have planned this by himself. Wish we could trust FBI / secret service to get to the bottom of this ( I mean beyond the hatred spewing from the deranged media, Hollywood and university campuses these days. ). There had to have been others working with him to plan this attack.

I believe the left WANTS this war to go hot. I believe the majority of the nutty left is way too lazy and cowardly to start a war, but I think there is definitely a hard core Marxist left that is very very dangerous to our Republic and they just hit the GO button

Was Hodgkinson in collusion with Cankles?

We need a congressional investigation to find out.

I just caught a part of McCain’s daughter on FOX blaming Trump. Seems some of her conservative comments have been just a cover-up. Newt is talking right now, making good points.

There are lots of Republicans in Illinois. Unfortunately, we are outnumbered by Chicago and Cook County. The shooter was from downstate in Belleville, which is across the river from St. Louis, and that area is also a hotbed of Democrats. Ever hear of Madison County and St. Clair counties? Hardcore lefties.

Public knowledge of the time and date and location of the training for the Republican team? If it’s public, it’s certainly not easy-to-find knowledge. Find me a site publically posting that knowledge from yesterday or earlier.

I checked and Megan McCain isn’t on Outnumbered today. You must be thinking of the blonde sitting on the far right, whoever she is.
