Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., pushed back against the notion that the 2017 shooting at a congressional baseball practice was merely a case of "suicide by cop," after Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, revealed at a hearing this was exactly how the FBI characterized it at the time.
Paul was there at the time of the incident, during which Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., suffered a gunshot wound that resulted in serious injury and was nearly fatal. In a statement to Fox News, Paul rejected the idea that the attack was not politically motivated.
"I was present at the baseball practice where a Bernie Sanders supporter nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise," Paul said. "It would seem that his goal was to kill individual members of Congress since he had a list of targets in his pocket. He also was heard to yell, 'this is for healthcare!' To argue that this assassination attempt was suicide by cop is unsupported by the facts."
The gunman, James Hodgkinson, fired well over 100 rounds at congressmen, their aides, and others present on the ball field.
He had asked whether the ballplayers were Democrats or Republicans before opening fire and was carrying a list of GOP lawmakers and their physical descriptions. The Republicans were on the field that day in preparation for an annual charity ball game.

The fbi is a cesspool of partisan hacks. They don’t care about law and order. They care about their laws and controlling society.
People don’t seem to want to hear it, but I believe that there is one completely evil, despotic psychopath behind all of this:
Hillary Rodham Clinton
OKC, Waco all kinds of events showed us how full the Clinton control of the Swamp was. Bill Gates was clubbed like a baby seal by Reno to bring him on board.
The whole thing starts with the election of the charming hillbilly.
I hope I out live Hitlery Rotten Criminal so I can have the pleasure of taking a wiz on her grave.
Day late and a dollar short as usual from Rand.
anyone that would have been onboard with draining the swamp would not have gotten senate confirmation. The greatest thing President Trump did was to lay bare the truth of the uniparty for all to see
Disband the FBI and rebuild it from the top down.
Everybody has forgotten about the garbage truck parked on train tracks with three men “sleeping” inside.
A train filled with Republican Senators and Congressmen with their families collided with it.
Feds, local police and NTSB (I know, Feds of a different flavor) declared this as an “accident”
To hardspunned, chill out.
Trump was an echo of the qualities and background our Framers cherished and hoped for in Presidents.
He didn't come up through party ranks making deals and accumulating political debts in exchange for party support.
As for administrators, the Framers hoped able men would serve subsequent Presidents rather than get fired and replaced by hacks.
Unlike recent Presidents, Trump didn't arrive in DC with thousands of camp followers in trail to whom he owed jobs.
Unfortunately, he had to mostly deal with the existing Obama leftovers.
The reaction of the Deep State and their four-year jihad to oust him by any means illustrated what we all suspected: that the entrenched DC apparatchiks are our enemies.
Donald Trump - The Echo of our Framers Uncorrupted President.
Yeah, all that’s well and good but he was an abject failure at picking a cabinet. You made zero attempt to refute that because it’s a fact. The big problem is Uniparty (R) types “ chilling out” while his cabinet picks destroyed MAGA and this country. “Chill out”, my a$$.
Great accomplishment! At the cost of the constitution?! What reality are you from? Trump caught on at the very end, sorta of. His one great pick, Grenell, as ACTING national security director sure blew your argument up. Put a MAGA firebrand in as acting and see how fast his other good pick, Ratcliffe, got confirmed. Are you telling me Trump was too stupid to figure that out for four years?
Great accomplishment! At the mere cost of the constitution. What reality are you living in. The Uniparty (R) bastard senate refused to consider John Ratcliffe and Trump withdrew the nomination. Trump did one smart thing that blows McConnell’s shenanigans and your theory up. He appointed his best pick by far, Grenell, as ACTING director. Grenell began to do what every ACTING head could have done. Grenell actually began pumping out the swamp. What did the Uniparty do? The couldn’t confirm Ratcliffe fast enough. Trump could have done this from day one.
