      The Democratic governor of PA eulogized the murdered audience member waxing about how happy he was to be at a Trump rally and died as a hero for covering his family. I’m not saying he should diss a murdered man, just don’t act like a Trump rally is some great All-American event.

      “It’s a tragic attack and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims. Political violence is abhorrent. We are providing all necessary support to uncover how this came about.” That’s all you need to do. Instead Democrats are out there mythologizing the event for Trump.

        Yeah it’s about as upsetting as a ‘bystander’ getting killed at a Klan rally.

        The only tragedy from the assassination attempt was that the bullet’s trajectory wasn’t a couple more inches to the right.

    I was with a group of friends- we were in the hot tub at the time we heard the news. We weren’t laughing at all- we just kept thinking over and over what a tragedy it was it wasn’t a better shot :(

      Just locker room hot tubbing talk.

      You and your buddies hanging out is one thing. We should expect better from elected officials.
