The gunman who opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice session this morning has been identified as a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.  Sixty-six-year-old James T. Hodgkinson from Belleville, Illinois, was killed by Capitol Police after firing up to 100 rounds from an assault rifle at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, leaving four injured including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

Hodgkinson was a staunch Bernie Sanders supporter and campaigned for the left-wing senator to get the Democratic nomination for president last year. The union tradesman, threatened to 'destroy' the president and his administration on social media.

He was shot by two U.S. Capitol Police officers who were accompanying Scalise to Eugene Simpson Stadium Park for the scheduled baseball practice ahead of Thursday night's charity match.

“This guy fired ‘over 100 rounds’ and didn’t kill anybody................”

My immediate thought this morning was that if this is how effectively the Left conducts their violent rebellion, it’s not going to last very long.

The left in America are Liberal Fascists.

Now they have begun their grab for power by publishing continuing propaganda to inflame and motivate wild cards to gun down elected politicians.It was only a matter of time. Next they will arm themselves in groups across the USA.
Congressmen do not know that this is hate. Republican Congressmen and Senators need to start to fight back in the media.

Many do not belive in the lefts fascism , but read this , its a good primer article:

I think it’s quite obvious that we need new gun control laws and an assault weapons ban........

No leftist is allowed to own guns...

Can we all get on board with this gun control legislation?

So damn typical of Democrats. Democrats showed their hatred towards Trump when Chicago shut him out. Democrats show their hatred on their Comedy Shows. Democrats show their hatred in theaters. Democrats show their hatred in MSM reporting day in day out. Democrats show their hatred on college campuses. Democrats show their hatred in schools teaching nonsense and hatred towards America. Democrats show their hatred in politics by lying to the people day in and out. Democrats are so full of hatred it blocks out any shame a normal person would feel.

Allow me one round return fire....at 500 yards. The left at this rate will never win the coming civil war.

Was Paul Ryan there?

First police getting killed over the left and their BLM supporters. Now these )(@_( nutjobs are starting to shoot republican’s and their staff.

These foaming at the mouth vile terrorists like ANTIFA and BLM and all their cheerleaders in the media and on social media need to be jailed.

POTUS needs to start filing federal charges against these organizations.
What’s next? Average Trump supporters are going to be fired upon at a baseball game or outing with their family. We all knew it was going to come to this.

I’ve noticed my anti-gun, pro-Bernie FB fiends have been silent on this. Strange.

“The gunman who opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice session this morning has been identified as a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter.”

So he blames Trump for beating Hillary, rather than Hillary for stealing the primaries from Bernie?

No....He is just a Socialist, who acted out the hatred and animosity against the Republic. He and many like him have been encouraged by the MSM, and Dem elite to act out their hatred.

What more has to happen before the Civil War is officially declared “started”?

Is this the Lexington/Concord moment?

Well, that must have taken some time.

Prayers for those shot by the Democrat thug.

Inciting to riot is a crime. Will President Trump do what he needs to do, arrest ALL MEDIA who aided, abetted, and incited this?

The suspected congressional baseball practice shooter was a fierce Trump opponent who called him a ‘traitor’

http://www.businessinsider.com/james-hodgkinson-steve-scalise-shooter-trump-2017-6

“Hodgkinson left a litany of anti-Trump and anti-Republican posts on the timelines of his Facebook and Twitter accounts, and he joined several Facebook groups with names such as “The Road to Hell is Paved with Republicans” and “Terminate the Republican Party.”
“Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.,” Hodgkinson wrote in a March 22 post.  “
