Rep. Bennie Thompson Field Director ‘No Longer’ Employed After Cheering Trump Shooting
Breitbart ^

A staffer for Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is “no longer” employed with him after she appeared to express disappointment that former President Donald Trump survived the assassination attempt at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania.

Jacqueline Marsaw, who listed her job as a field director for Thompson on her Facebook profile, reportedly wrote, “I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn’t me talking.”

“Couldn’t happened to a nicer fellow but was it staged,” Marsaw wrote in a follow-up post, shared by Matthew Hurtt of the Leadership Institute.

“This is my last post, Trump supporters tried to come for me and I had to block them but yet y’all can’t see the wrong that he does.”

.....

Marsaw’s posts have since been deleted or set to private after going viral.

After facing backlash for the words of his field director, Thompson provided a statement to Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie:

Rep THOMPSON has fired this staffer --

“I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment.”

Fired, for following her bosses lead and well known not coincidental attitude towards Trump?

Oops - yeah, that was you talking.

And you paid the price, just as your ilk, all the way up to the "president," demands that Republicans "pay the price" for "terrorist rhetoric."

It's far past time the double standard ended and Democrats were held accountable for their accusations the same way Republicans are." - and that especially includes Biden:

Last week, Biden called Trump a “loser” and reportedly told donors, “It’s time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.”

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

He drove the point home: “There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”

Of course lots of libs agree with her, but just how stupid does one have to be to make a post like that?

She just got caught. Thompson’s entire entourage all think her way and their gerrymandered congressional district is a prime example of black leadership. I watched the Mississippi NAACP honor a convicted rapist (Holmes) and take unearned millions from the tobacco settlement that they used for their pleasure.

Good thing X wasn’t around in 1864, or she would have been fired for cheering John Wilkes Booth.


Not fired, but hung

“I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment.”

She’s probably reassigned to another office where she’ll be out of view until this blows over.

Because if nobody sees her with a box of personal possessions in hand being escorted out of the building by the Capital Police on live TV, it never happened.
