The assault will give pause to all sorts of Democrats in Congress who think, if this could happen in a Democratic Speaker's home, then what could happen to any of us. You'll get Democrat representatives being less aggressive in Congress, Democrats less willing to run for Congress, Democrats less willing to volunteer for political campaigns, and Democrats less willing to vote.
The cost to political participation then for Democrats will be higher than for Republicans, who are far less likely to face any of these things. Yes, Steve Scalise says hi, but the one crazy person going after him is the exception that proves the rule.
What an idiotic post. Truly.
Look back over the past few years and just think for a minute.
Rand Paul. Lee Zeldin. Just recently - a staffer for Rubio.
Then, there is the aborted assassination on Kavanaugh.
Then of course, Steve Scalise and all the other Republicans who were targeted on the baseball field.
Tell us you didn't really think before you posted.
