Rand Paul: Media Covered Up Scalise Shooter Shouting, ‘This Is for Health Care!’
Breitbart ^ | 12 Oct 2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/12/2018 7:43:20 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed a shocking detail the establishment media covered up about James Hodgkinson, the left-winger who attempted a mass murder at a Republican congressional baseball practice: according to Paul, the man who almost killed Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and wounded four others was shouting, “This is for health care!”

During an appearance this week on Fox & Friends, Paul said:

I was there at the ballfield when Steven Scalise almost died from a very, very angry, violent man who was incited, really, by rhetoric on the left. And this hasn’t been reported enough: When he came on to the ball field with a semiautomatic weapon, firing probably close to 200 shots at us, shooting five people and almost killing Steve Scalise, he was yelling, “This is for health care!” He also had a list of conservative legislators–Republicans–in his pocket, that he was going to kill.

Paul was himself the victim of a brutal assault at his home late last year. Since then, people like NBC’s Kasie Hunt and other top Democrats have expressed personal delight over the savagery that left the senator with six broken ribs.

In an effort to reason with Democrats to tone down the left’s inciting rhetoric, Paul’s wife, Kelley, is speaking out. She told Breitbart News’s Amanda House that she lives in fear for her personal safety. She also penned an open letter to Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) asking him to retract his call for left-wing activists to get in the faces of Republican lawmakers. He has so far refused.

Does Mrs. Paul really think a low life like Booker will straighten up?

Or is she laying the groundwork for a lawsuit that will finish a scum like cory booker off?

Either way, prayers for the Paul family.

How ironic. He obviously didn’t care about Scalise’s health.

There was a former Democrat mayor of Alexandria(?) who just happened to befriend the shooter. Maybe the Dem was really his handler?

But let Sarah Palin draw targets on districts and it’s attempted murder.

Back in the early 70’s Bill Ayers and his cohorts had drawn-up a list of Senators who needed to be executed in order to shift the vote to end the Vietnam War.

In four-plus decades nothing has changed.

Plus, they NEVER mention that Scalise being House Speaker and having a security detail present at the ballpark was the ONLY reason the whole team wasn’t massacred!
I shudder every time I think about that!

And look what they do to cabinet members, senators, especially Mitch - he's the leader of the senate. Their lives are at risk with the Democrat Voter MOB out there.

I read the autobiography of a guy who worked for Stalin, in his inner circle. Can't remember his name, it was many years ago.

He said that every meeting with the Big Guy was about just one subject: who needed to be killed.

Stalin had a saying: "no person, no problem."
