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.

I don’t have a flicker account or anything, let me look into it.
Find out who leaked the info that this practice was taking place at this time and locale and that Scalise was to be present.
Paging Mr. Sessions- please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Great work! I wish I had seen his FB page before it was taken down. Rush saying it was full of radical leftist HATE.
I’m very busy today but could’ve sworn they just were trying to say shooter was a Trump supporter… I hope I heard it wrong or that it can be disproven.
UPDATE: They now say the Bernie Sanders-inspired mass shooter was fed on HATE from Rachel MadCow! Huh, no surprises here!
The US national HATE Media and Democrats are DIRECTLY to blame for the shooting of the Congressional Republicans! Within the last month two artistic works have drawn criticism for imagined violence against Trump. In May, comedian Kathy Griffin apologized for a photo where she held a mask of a bloody, severed Trump head after a major backlash where CNN cut ties with her. More recently, a production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” depicted a Trump-like figure who was assassinated. The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter highlighted another user’s tweet that said, “Events like today are EXACTLY why we took issue with NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President,” soon after shots were fired at Republican congressmen during a baseball practice.
FOR SHAME!!
that because the guy probably spouts off about gun control and the guns he has are stolen or recent purchases and he has no traaining
Exactly.
Exactly.
Have we even been told what model of ‘rifle’ he was using?...................

Use them, post them here, as you will.
He was a Bernie supporter, hard core................
Odd, cause Bernie is, strangely enough, a pro gun lib..............
It's called the LBJ move at their cocktail parties.
Libtards + Muslims = Bomb of mass destruction for a country
KEEP watching out
Thank you, I must have misheard big time, sorry about that!
There are reports the shooter has been in DC for two months. I wonder if he’s part of and paid by the agitators uncovered by Project Veritas. Recall they were the funding behind the Trump rally protests and visited Obama over 40 times:
“Robert Creamer, founder of Democracy Advocates and the husband of Rep. Janice D. Schakowsky, Illinois Democrat, stepped down from the campaign Tuesday, a day after Scott Foval was fired from his post as national field director of Americans United for Change.”

Finger on the trigger.....Soros, Maddow, Obama, Sanders, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO, RESIST, ANTIFA, Hollywood, DNC, Shummer......
A point that all should consider, this guy was not crazy by any stretch of the imagination. He had all his marbles.
