1. These were not “kids” or “teenagers”, these were GOP political operatives & lawmakers in their 30s.
2. If young people shouldn’t be punished for social posts, why did his administration just announce six students’ visas rescinded for anti-Kirk posts?
Oh the gaslighting!
If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these
In light of today’s shooting death of Charlie Kirk, it’s worth remembering that while Paul Pelosi was lying in the ICU with a fractured skull, vile ghouls like Don Jr. thought it was comedy content. These people don’t just enable violence - they celebrate it.
So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.
In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.
The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.
The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.
The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.
The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.
The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.
The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.
As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
Trump responding to a question on Mexico and Canada: I look at some of these agreements and I say who would ever sign a thing like this. The tariffs will go forward, yes. We'll make up a lot of territory. Our country will be liquid and rich again.
For those watching at home: a new mom with her 1-month-old baby just flew across the country to save millions of Americans from losing their Medicaid.
@RepPettersen is a hero (and Congress should support our bill to allow proxy voting for new parents bc she shouldn’t have to be)
5 of 8 nursing home residents are able to live in assisted living because of Medicaid. Half of Arkansas kids are able to go to the doctor when they are sick because of Medicaid. The Waltons have enough. Expand Medicaid to protect kids, moms, the disabled, and elderly.
Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
