Perhaps the Democrats did not want to be reminded that it was their excessive violent rhetoric against Republicans that escalated violent rhetoric and a growing hostile atmosphere across the country that led to an assassination attempt against elected Republican Federal Govt Representatives, an attack in which House Minority Whip Steve Scalise was gunned down on a baseball field.
"House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said Wednesday that House Democrats refused to allow him to testify before the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on gun violence.
“Historically when Republicans were in charge, even when Democrats were in charge prior to this more radical leftist majority, if a member of Congress wanted to testify on a committee, they always provided a venue for that to happen”
All that has changed as Socialist Democrats have abandoned civility, escalated violent intolerance, and seeks to silence all voices of those whose ideas / ideology conflict s with their own.
“In this case they were having a hearing in the judiciary on reducing gun violence and I’ve got a perspective, clearly mine dealt with something that happened to me and I saw how guns were used to saved people’s lives and it should have been able to be part of the testimony,” he continued. “They wanted to focus on taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens, which their bill ultimately does.”
“[Democrats] think they can silence conservative voices, but you know what, they can’t silence our voices. We’re going to get this message out anyway,” the Louisiana congressman said. “Go read their bill, by the way, H.R. 8, if you loan your shotgun to a friend of yours to go hunting, under certain circumstances in their bill you can actually go to jail for a year and have a $100,000 fine.”
