Brooks Suggests Republicans Are Retiring Because of Assassination Fears
Roll call ^ | 4/272018 | Eric M Garcia

Posted on 04/27/2018 11:10:06 PM PDT by TheConservator

Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks suggested in a radio interview that Republicans are retiring en masse because of assassination fears.

. . . .

But Brooks said while there were multiple factors that contributed to a slew of Republicans leaving the House, he suggested fears of violence was a major one.

“One of the things that’s concerning me is the assassination risk may become a factor,” he said.

. . . .

“Notice a trend here?” he said. “I have a congressman who is a friend here who has a three-year old daughter whose daughter was threatened with murder.”

He also said the “socialist Bernie Sanders wing of society” was pushing for a revolution that would lead to Maoist level of violence. . . .

I told you never to post to me again. What you are doing is harassment and I will elevate it further.

how is this insanity possible?
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Teachers indoctrinate K-12 through post-graduate students will daily leftist propaganda and rewards for “correct leftists answers” to exams.

TV 24 hours a day says conservatives are bigots and white supremacists and guilty until proven innocent.

It is assumed it is good to eliminate Trump supporters because it is noble and uplifting to suppress them.

It is not off the wall. Please take note of Antifa and the indoctrinated students who consider it noble to hurt the GOP.

In 2016 people were denied the right to gather to discuss political issues IF they were conservatives. They could get cars smashed and be hit by tear gas or rocks and glass bottles if they went to hear a GOP speaker. Remember polls said no one was a Trump supporter until the election votes were cast? People lost jobs if coworkers found out they were Trump supporters.
Due to FEAR.

Congressman Bill Shuster of PA was talking about this gas tax as a means to fund infrastructure earlier this year.””

KICK OUT the illegals in all categories & you will have more than enough money to build infrastructure & build the wall.

You cannot save a sinking boat without plugging up the leaks.

McConnell could have changed the filibuster rules on the first day of this session. Instead, he lets the Senate use 30 hours of “debate” for each of Trump’s nominees. The day that the Dems have 51 in the Senate, they will change those rules and they will say something that blames Republicans for the necessity of the rule change. Our Constitution says nothing about 60 votes to pass things in the Senate.

The main reason is that they are resigning is because they have been told to by the patriots who are taking over. It’s simple get out or be prosecuted.

With the Deep State going down, they no longer have any cover for selling out the country (treason), which they have been doing for so many years. They are scared to death, not from assassins, but from newly appointed ethical, truth seeking prosecutors. They mistakenly believe by bailing out now they can run away from their criminality. Just for starters, how in the world did they let a traitor, AKA Obozo, get into the WH? They have sold out their soul and their country to the Devil.

Brooks was at the ball field. He helped tend to Scalise’s wounds.

Brooks is not off the wall. He indicated in the interview that he was speculating that this “might” be a reason.

Your post is the best one of this thread.

It needs to be said....60 votes in the Senate is not written in concrete. We just need a majority leader with the guts to shake things up.

Nothing would surprise me anymore. Just look at what our own government is doing to president Trump. I can’t trust a government who will break any law in order to do the bidding of one political party. That’s a serious problem.

IF he had been prepared and drained the swamp the first month in office and directed his new appointees to ferret and expose the rampant Progressive socialist corruption of the last 4 administrations, we would have had a fighting chance and PDJT would not find himself in the illegitimate quagmire he is in. Too busy tweeting his narcissism to the world I guess. His is as bad as bHo except it is not coupled with the petulant arrogant superiority of bHo.

A lot of congressional fat cats felt essentially the same way until they had their bellies rubbed.

The democrats lost the doomsday weapon and have gone insane enough to resort to assassination. The doomsday weapon is the Supreme Court. They saw a guaranteed liberal court that would back up all their unconstitutional regulations/Executive orders, etc. as well as criminal acts. The people would be powerless. Justice Gorsuch returned the status quo. The left fears Ginsberg dieing, Sotomayor medically retiring, and/or Kennedy retiring leading to a 5/4, 6/3 or even 7/2 conservative court. That is a big reason why they are all in on overthrowing the government.

Yes, you’re right. From what I understand, it’s been going on since Hoover. Kind of a stink then, so it was more seriptitious. Maybe. LBJ did some. But the Clinton Crime family took it to a whole new level. Final count was around 2000 oppo FBI files iirc, that we found out about. And they did it immediately!

They set up a whole operation for it, got busted, and it slowed to a trickle. But they never paid any significant price.

And the people they brought in, massively corrupt, never really went away. It’s like the Clintons were a magnet for corrupt, no conscience people. Hundreds.

Brennan was a communist, who somehow slithered in and became the friken head of the CIA. He has no conscience nor morals, and his buddies Clapper, Comey, etc. sure didn’t keep an eye on him. And Obama? Hah!

Brennan no doubt compiled a huge database of dirt. And with our current spy tech, no doubt there are thousands of audio recordings. Emails. Texts. Upstream and downstream, from anyone he wanted. Obama had already weaponized the NSA.

Brennan could get all communications from anyone, including historical. World wide. Phone calls from 3 years ago. The NSA had it. (Supposedly not anymore, but don’t bet the ranch)

The 5 eyes thing. They all go crazy when you bring it up. Think Judge Napolitano— Fox almost ruined him when he said 5 eyes and UK spied on Trump. That’s a big hidden part. Brennan and 5 eyes.
