The Bernie Sanders supporter who tried to kill numerous GOP lawmakers did not commit his violent acts in a vacuum. James Hodgkinson may have pulled the trigger that critically wounded House majority whip Steve Scalise and two others. But the hysterical threats of violence against Republicans and President Trump could not have escaped his notice.
Hodgkinson was a regular viewer of Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show and worshipped Bernie Sanders. There is little doubt that someone so immersed in left-wing politics heard the calls for blood and violence against Republicans.

Breitbart lists 15 examples of celebrity calls for violence. A few examples:
1. Kathy Griffin 'Beheads' Trump in Graphic Photo
2. Madonna – "I've thought a lot about blowing up the White House."
3. Snoop Dogg "Shoots" Trump in the Head in Music Video
4. Robert De Niro: "I'd Like to Punch Him in the Face"
5. Joss Whedon: "I Want a Rhino to [F---] Paul Ryan to Death"
6. Shakespeare in the Park Stabs 'Trump' to Death in Performance of 'Julius Caesar
10. Rapper YG Threatens Trump with "[F---] Donald Trump" Song
11. Marilyn Manson Kills 'Trump' in Music Video
And let's not forget actual violence and intimidation that has been carried out against Republicans:

Even before Wednesday's shooting, Republicans were growing used to being on the receiving end of violence and intimidation amid an increasingly hostile political climate where left-wingers portrayed them as "fascists."
One of Virginia Rep. Tom Garrett's town halls last month featured a heavy police presence after Garrett and his family were targeted by repeated death threats. "This is how we're going to kill your wife," read one such message, Garrett told Politico. "I don't want to die anytime soon. I got stuff left to do, I hope. But when you pull wives and children in, that's not cool."
Just days after the Politico article ran, FBI agents arrested a Tucson Unified School District employee for making violent threats against Arizona Rep. Martha McSally. Agents said 58-year-old Steve Martan left threatening voicemails for McSally, telling the Republican congresswoman that her days were "numbered."
Also last month, police in Tennessee charged 35-year-old Wendi Wright with felony reckless endangerment for allegedly trying to run Republican Congressman David Kustoff off the road after a town hall he held regarding the GOP health care bill. If Wright stays out of trouble and abides by the terms of her one-year restraining order, then all charges will be expunged from her record, reported BuzzFeed, which covered the story in sympathetic terms. "Wendi Wright can't have any contact with Republican Rep. David Kustoff for a year after she chased after him for his vote on Obamacare last month," read the story's sub-headline.
The same day Wright was charged, police in North Dakota escorted a man from a town hall with Rep. Kevin Cramer after the man became physical with the Republican congressman and shoved a fistful of money into Cramer's collar.
Patton Oswalt (Spence on King of Queens) tweeted pictures of Trump’s hotels and called on ISIS to blow them up. This is a really sick move on his part, advocating the murder of thousands of people on vacation, just because he hates Trump.
I hope that the Hollywood elites know that their body guards and walls will not save them if the shtf.

I still believe his wife killed herself to get away from this a-hole.
Hollywood makes movies for white liberal elites, black women, and violent third world types.
In short, they make movies for democrats.
That’s why they’re failing.And
And it’s why they’re stupid.
This is SOP for the progressive movement.
That fag needs his fat faced slapped.

Nice gig!
The international box office of blockbusters is the only thing saving the industry right now. Once those audiences start tiring of blockbusters, the film industry will collapse.
Both the music and film industries days are numbered, at least as it has been constituted.
Agreed, especially with all of the entertainment options available now.
These, so called”Cebs” all deserve to be UNemployed!
