It's been just 48 hours since Republican lawmakers and their staff members were gunned down on a field in Alexandria by a Bernie Sanders volunteer while practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game. Republican Whip Steve Scalise is still in critical condition at the hospital and has undergone a number of surgeries after being shot in the pelvis.
In reaction to the attack, Nebraska Democrat Chelsey Gentry-Tipton said it was funny to watch Republicans who were on the field get emotional when recalling what happened during media interviews. After calls for a new civility, unity and her resignation, Gentry-Tipton is doubling down.
From the Omaha-World Herald:
A Nebraska Democratic Party official has refused calls to resign her volunteer position after calling reactions to this week’s shooting of a high-ranking Republican member of Congress “so funny” on social media.
Chelsey Gentry-Tipton of Omaha said in statement that she will not resign as chairwoman of the party’s Black Caucus, saying her post was taken out of context by party officials.
The Nebraska party’s leadership asked Gentry-Tipton to step down Wednesday, several hours after she wrote, in a Facebook thread about the shooting at in Alexandria, Virginia, “Watching the congressman crying on live tv abt the trauma they experienced. Y is this so funny tho?”
Later, in the same thread, she stated, “The very people that push pro NRA legislation in efforts to pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life. Yeah, having a hard time feeling bad for them.”
The question now is, what does the DNC have to say about this? Will newly minted Chairman Tom Perez, who said at a recent rally that Republicans "don't give a damn about people," step in? Or will he allow her to continue in her position as a representation of the Democrat Party?
Some people were just born to be assholes. She’s the new poster child.
funny? I wonder if she’d laugh were she told the same “joke”
I wish some patriots would have videoed the reaction of the “journalists” at the NYT, WaPo etc. when they heard about the shooting. I have no doubt they were cheering.
I have another name for it: GoFundYourself. Wait, that wasn't it.
Among the liberal deficits;
Can’t select a reliably accurate weapon.
Can’t shoot straight.
4:1 resource disadvantage.
How “funny” would it be if this hyphenated twit was shot?
She is concerned about human life, hey lady, what about the unborn humans, the ones that you people abort?
Yet another dirtbag from the The Democrat Thug Party.
Page removed.
Any friend of Van Jones is a commie piece of s$&@ America hating traitor. She represents everything evil and dangerous about the commie left. I hpe Trump drives her literally insane.
Oops, too late! Liberals are all insane.
White Live Don’t Matter.
But we already knew this.
Chelsey Gentry-Tipton, your treason is showing.
Today many elements of the media, academia, and the dem party are being silent or giving their tacit approval to the shooter's actions. This will ENCOURAGE more violent acts of a political nature.
Civility is dead across the board. This will get worse. It might not get better for a very long time.
How is it this hateful cow has somehow wiped the internet clean of her hateful, cow-like visage?
They will be paying for it sooner or later and payback will be sweet.
But she will find out.
“The Democrat tribe is a tribe of thieves.”
And murderers,
These democrat fascists are true enemies to America. We need to start understanding that.
What if it turned out that the bullet from the black female cop was the one that took the shooter out?
Bet she’d have a stroke.
Uppity little thing, ain’t she...
