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. . . .

Maybe people with access to our ‘intelligence services’ used FBi and CIA files to shove them out the door?

Odd, because it’s too many at too critical a moment for it to be ‘natural’...

It is cover to step down because of wrong doing.

My eyes are fully open, FRiend, tthe question was more rhetorical than anything else. Frustration at the continuing decline of our society is at it’s peak in my mind.

Exactly. They’re getting away with stuff just in exchange for getting away.

However I think they made a deal by turning over evidence which delivers the worst among our traitors. Sort of like when Sammy “the Bull” Gravano torpedoed Gatti for Giuliani.

I hope that’s it. Somehow I have a hard time seeing Paul Ryan turning anyone in up the food chain.

I concur with you as it is above Ryan where it’s coming from. Remember he is on his way out too.

Outlier(s).

Reasons:
Lose House to Ds to enable impeachment.
Avoid sexual harassment revelation, while in office or at all.
Bought off by donor class into lobby class to put Ds in power.
Blackmail.
Bribery.

I trust none of them.
