Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who was wrongly and inaccurately blamed when Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) was shot several years ago, is standing up for Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont saying he is personally not responsible for the actions of his apparent supporter.
Palin, in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, called for the media industry to be more careful than they were back when Giffords was shotspecifically asking for media integrity when it comes to learning the motives of the shooter of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise at the GOP congressional baseball practice on Wednesday morning.
Prayers for healing are raised for all victims of todays horrific violence, while we with lift up thankfulness that lives were not lost, Palin told Breitbart News. While justice is now sought upon the capture of the deranged attacker, an additional prayer must be for no acceptance of a rush to destroy anyone else in this horrible incident. Those seeking political advantage reacted so recklessly and irresponsibly the last time a member of Congress was brutally attacked, as media inexplicably played a knee-jerk blame game assuming that attackers motives. Todays shooter appears to be a Bernie Sanders supporter and campaign volunteer. But Bernie Sanders is not to blame. Maybe the media have matured enough to allow coverage of this most recent violence to focus on facts, because media integrity will be crucial as America witnesses todays events unfolding and, on behalf of our Congressional Representatives, we all seek justice.

Kathy Griffin and others drove these people insane to the point where they believe violence is the only answer.
But then, Socialism is the ideology of forcibly taking things from people who won't or refuse to "share" what they have with others.
Remember, Socialism is the ideology of forcibly taking things from people who won't or refuse to "share" what they have with others.
Just saying.
The words ‘media’ and ‘integrity’ don’t belong in the same sentence.
>>Socialism is the ideology of forcibly taking things from people who won’t or refuse to “share” what they have with others.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Socialism led by raw violence is called communism.
Bernie disavowed this guy because he broke their cover.
BERNIE!
I was the first person who pointed out that Palin used surveyor points instead of rifle targets for upcoming Congressional races.
What about the Portland stabbed and Reality Winner?
Compass points?
Your point was willfully ignored by the MSN.
Let’s face it, ANYONE who would support Bernie is a functional illiterate, anyway.
The real story is why the Democrats try so hard to garner their support, and why the media act like they’re just another political faction instead of intellectual charity cases.
The letist media is already dashing her hopes.
I have known for a long time how corrupt the Left really is.
Today I learned something I should have already known. There are a large number of “Pol Pots” just waiting until they seize total control.
They are worse than Stalin, Hitler or Castro. They are bound by no humanity at all.
I love Sarah, but I see things a little differently than she does on this issue.
In the Gabby Giffords case, Sarah was totally innocent of any wrongdoing when she showed a map with “targeted” cities. Her intent was never to “target” those cities with violence, but merely to pinpoint on a map the places that need more attention in her campaign. This is a common practice and in no way should ever have been construed as encouraging violence.
The Left, on the other hand, has been totally blatant in their relentless barrage of hate towards President Trump, his family, his staff, Republicans, conservatives, and even liberals who aren’t “all in” with their venomous agenda. The Kathy Griffen atrocity, numerous tweets, the media, and even “Shakespeare in the Park” are all culpable.
Because the dem party and media are infested with socialists.
CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and the rest of the Democrat media along with Democrat politicians
Only the shooter, Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson
I agree with both of your points on Post 13.
AGREED, Sarah Palin never ever gave the slightest hint of endorsing or encouraging political violence. The current Leftards, on the other hand, are quite explicitly sanctioning and encouraging political violence against President Trump, Republican officials, and all of their supporters.
There is a world of difference between the two situations (among other things, Jared Loughner was mentally ill and to the extent he had any political beliefs he seems to have been a Libtard). In the current case, the shooter was clearly of leftist orientation and the torrents of hateful threats and incitement spewed in recent months by leading Democrats and media types most certainly influences the mind of someone like that.
The ‘Gabby Giffords’ shooting.
Six people died in that attack, and Giffords wasn’t one of them.
For instance: John Roll, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for Arizona.
But the Dems made it all about themselves.
>>specifically asking for media integrity <<
Oxymoron
