"Scalise critical as shooting stokes fears of rhetoric-fueled violence"


President Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning to claim he's caught up in a "WITCH HUNT" led by "bad and conflicted people" following reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating him for obstruction of justice.

“When liberal leftists support the assassination of President Trump on stage what do you expect to happen,” Second Amendment Foundation founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb said. “Hate speech and actions incite this kind of violence. It is time for Democrats like Reps. Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and many of the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC to shut up.”

"(TD) later added: ‘You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!"

“When liberal leftists support the assassination of President Trump on stage what do you expect to happen."

Rep. Rodney Davis, R-N.Y., told CNN shortly after the shooting that overheated rhetoric has dangerous consequences.

“I believe that there’s such a hatefulness in what we see in American politics and policy discussions right now — and social media and the 24-hour news cycle,” Davis said. “This has got to stop."

“When liberal leftists support the assassination of President Trump on stage what do you expect to happen."

All quotes. All fox entertainment.

Meanwhile
"Obama reaches out to Sen. Flake after shooting," by Elana Schor: "Former President Barack Obama reached out to Sen. Jeff Flake Wednesday morning in the wake of the shooting at the GOP's congressional baseball game practice to extend his 'best wishes and prayers' for the victims, the Arizona Republican said."

Not mentioned.
