Really?  EVERY SINGLE NEWS OUTLET?

Quote:Shooter identified
Hodgkinson's Facebook page is largely political, and his profile picture is a caricature of Bernie Sanders as Uncle Sam.
The Facebook feed is filled with anti-Trump sentiments such as "Trump is guilty and should go to prison for treason."
He also "liked" a political cartoon that suggested that Scalise should be fired. On March 22, he posted "Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It's Time to Destroy Trump & Co."


Funny.  I just don't recall that.  Maybe that was the FOX news take?

Quote:A gunman believed to be a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sprayed a hail of bullets at a GOP baseball practice Wednesday morning, critically wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and injuring four others before U.S. Capitol Police took down the rifle-wielding assailant.

I guess not even them.
Did you know that every news outlet doesn't mean the same thing as every news article.

These are both articles right after the congressional shooting.

Rep. Davis: 'Political rhetorical terrorism' has got to stop
The shooting Wednesday at a congressional baseball practice prompted swift calls to ratchet down the country’s heated political rhetoric, with one Republican congressman who was at the scene saying the “hateful rhetoric” on both sides has to stop.

Quote:"The blame can go on the Republican side, it can go on the Democrat side


When a Bernie Sander's supporter shoots up a bunch of congressmen, why is it okay to point out violence on both sides, but not when the violence comes from the fringe right? Then it's an outrage to point out that there is political violence on multiple fronts? The hypocrisy is obvious.

You know who else said it? You after the same event was quick not to condemn that shooting, but rather to point out the violence associated with the 'other side'
