In June of 2017, Steve Scalise was shot on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, by a Bernie Sanders supporter.<\/p>\n
In June 2018, Maxine Waters said the following:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think we\u2019re rallying now, you ain\u2019t seen nothing yet. You have members of your cabinet being booed out of restaurants. You have protesters taking up at their house. We say no peace, no sleep. No peace, so sleep. And guess what? We\u2019re going to win this battle, because while you try to quote the Bible, Jeff Sessions and others, you really don\u2019t know the Bible. God is on our side. On the side of the children. On the side of what\u2019s right. On the side of what\u2019s honorable. On the side of understanding that if we can\u2019t protect the children, we can\u2019t protect anybody, and so let\u2019s stay the course. Let\u2019s make sure that we show up where ever we have to show up. If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they\u2019re not welcome anymore, anywhere.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n How many Republican officials and lawmakers have been forced out of restaurants by angry mobs in recent months? The political rhetoric has reached a dangerous level in recent months. I do not think all of the blame for this falls on President Trump–I watched a few minutes of CNN yesterday and was truly surprised at the incendiary language used to malign the current President.<\/p>\n Today we have a suspect in the recent bombings. CNBC<\/a> is reporting that the suspect has been in trouble with the law before.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Public records reveal that in 2002, Sayoc was arrested in Florida for allegedly making a threat to throw, place, project or discharge a destructive device, according to public records.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sayoc, who is originally from New York, also had previously been arrested in Florida on multiple charges of theft and possession of steroids. He was convicted of grand theft in 1991 in Florida and placed on probation.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1994, a woman who had the same name as Sayoc’s grandmother accused him of domestic violence in the civil division of domestic violence court in Broward County, Florida. If it was Sayoc’s grandmother, she would have been about 80 years old at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sayoc filed for bankruptcy in 2012, public records show.<\/strong><\/p>\n The mainstream media is making a big deal of the fact that the man is a registered Republican and has Trump stickers all over his van. I would just like to mention that one of the nicest people I know is a registered Republican and has Trump stickers all over his truck. The linking of this to President Trump is disingenuous at best and incendiary at worst.<\/p>\n Let’s tone down the rhetoric and try to work together to make America a better, safer place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In June of 2017, Steve Scalise was shot on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, by a Bernie Sanders supporter.
