Of course the attack has to be the fault of a conservative. The absolute arrogance of some is appalling. There is a member of government fighting for his life, attacked not just by a Sanders supporter, but a volunteer for his campaign! A socialist who embraces policies which are inherently anti-American are going to attract certain people.
Here is the scary part in my estimation, just by watching the reactions at Universities and from celebrities and the alt-left in general, what this guy did was act out what has been verbally expressed and it will continue since these comedians, media networks and alt-left members have passively given them permission, they have normalized verbalizing violence, it's just the next step for nutjobs to embrace and act out these words. This is particularly true when the drones are told everyday that the President is illegitimate, "Russia Russia, Russia, collusion, collusion, collusion" And now, "obstruction, obstruction". Everyone knows that it's dangerous, even many on the left have spoken out about the suppression of opinion and the violence being expressed by some. They can see it for themselves.
Didn't the New York Times say after the election results that they were going to be an honest reporting source from that day forward? They were so biased and outright wrong on their understanding of America and Americans in the election that their arrogance clouded their reporting. Seems they still can't get over their own ideology....
