GOP rep: Trump partially to blame for hostility that led to lawmaker shooting
-
Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said President Trump is “partially” to blame for the hostility in the nation that led to the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and others at a congressional baseball practice.
“I would argue the president has unleashed, partially, again not in anyway totally, but partially to blame for the demons that have been unleashed,” Sanford said Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
He referenced Trump's remarks during the campaign that he'd like to punch a protester in the face, saying the comments were “bizarre” and “we’ve ought to call it as such.”
“They’ll say, ‘If the guy at the top can say anything to anybody any time, why can’t I?' ” Sanford said.
He said he believes many on Capitol Hill are taking the time for some “heavy soul-searching" after Wednesday's shooting, which left Scalise in critical condition and four others injured.

In that case he must be investigated at once and put behind bars where he belongs as a murderer, start as soon as you can!

so trump is to blame but not any of the violence and hostility the left has been fostering? a play where trump gets shot or kathy griffin posing with a severed head, articles and blogs telling people to resist and rise up against trump? none of the people yelling to "punch a nazi"? what a joke

You are out of your mind insane. The left has been promoting violence against Trump daily since he came onto the scene. You are disgusting and ill-informed.
