Right Wing Twitter Blames ‘Democrats’ and ‘Kathy Griffin’ For Shooting
A congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia was shattered Wednesday morning, when a gunman opened fire on Republican Senators and Congressmen wounding GOP Majority Whip Steve Scalise, an aide, and two capitol police officers.
While the details are still unfolding, multiple eyewitnesses are reporting than up to 60 shots were fired by a gunman armed with a high-powered rifle. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said that only the presence of Capitol Police prevented a massacre.
The targeted group seems to have been comprised exclusively of Republican lawmakers, and while that is definitely suspicious and suggests it was a targeted attack, it didn’t take long for right wing Twitter to place the blame on Democrats, leftists, and even GOP boogymen like Snoop Dogg and Kathy Griffin.
The media has been signalling to crazies that Trump is illegitimate for months. This was entirely predictable. Blood on their hands.

Between sick Kathy Griffin, plays portraying Trump’s assassination and Antifa violence, is this surprising?

After Kathy Griffin and Julius Ceasar, the Russia conspiracy theory, the Left and MSM inspired today’s terrorist attack #Alexandria

We DO know that repeated Antifa assaults have gone unreported. We DO know of the left’s culture of violence. It has to stop. Now. https://t.co/yUIeCHqIfB

People shooting at Republicans now. An act of violence by the left. Sadly unsurprising, given their violent tendencies. https://t.co/r4iPmizUMC
