Were it not for Scalise’s security detail a substantial chunk of the GOP caucus would have been wiped-out. This was serious.
Not only that, but if that Antifa guy actually knew how to use his weapon, a la Lee Harvey Oswald, even the security detail would not have been able to stop mass assassination. God be with Rep Scalise, his doctors and family.
You aren’t kidding that this could have been serious. It is conceivable that 10% of all the Republican federal politicians could have been wiped from our country. We were waaaayy too close to a major a burden on our democracy.
