Actualy, it was the House Democrats who sent a petition to podesta

In 2002 GOP Majority Whip Steve Scalise spoke at a rally sponsored by former KKK leader, David Duke. It's time for Scalise to step down as GOP Majority Whip.

Scalise described himself as David Duke without the baggage. Didn't deserve to shot, but there's nothing wrong with calling for his resignation from House leadership

Thank you Are_we_sure - I see it was the Democrats House Majority PAC requesting Podesta to sign the petition for Scalise to resign, I wonder if there is any way to see if he did sign. I posted the discussion in the hopes other people could add to the 'bad blood' between Podesta and Scalise, it builds a better picture of whats going on. Thanks to waxdino below this picture is starting to form.

add to the 'bad blood' between Podesta and Scalise, it builds a better picture of whats going on.

How does this build a better picture of anything?

You're implying podesta had something to so with the shooting? Based on what?

Where's your evidence the shooter even targeted Scalise? Wasn't the shooter quite anti-Hillary?

Ah I see you listen to the MSM narrative trying to pushing him all about being a Berni guy, they are diverting. The link I think between Podesta and Scalise is that allegedly Podesta is a pedophile and Scalise announced he was determined to get the pedophiles/human traffickers off the street.

The MSM narrative??? Is that what you call the facts you don't want to hear?

This man volunteered for Bernie in Iowa, that was confirmed by the Sanders campaign and Bernie Sanders himself issued a statement on it. For you to say different is simply false.

He was not a paid member of the campaign, he wasn't well known, but he definitely was for Bernie.

Judging by his social media his two biggest political positions were strongly Anti-Trump and strongly pro-Bernie. His motivating cause seemed to be the 99% and the 1%. He was against tax cuts for the rich and pro universal healthcare

He donated a small amount of money to Bernie via the PAC Actblue https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/?two_year_transaction_period=2016&contributor_name=James+Hodgkinson&min_date=01%2F01%2F2015&max_date=12%2F31%2F2016

He was also an alcoholic and abusive guy for much longer than he was politically angry. Previous violent behavior is a way bigger predictor of political violence than ideology is. Ideology influences who a violent actor targets, not if they are violent.

To be honest I believe MSM 1% of the time and DO NOT believe them 99% of the time. (maybe once in a blue moon they make a mistake and let a TRUTH slip out!) I find them TOTALLY discredited and bias in my opinion. You of course are allowed your own opinion, but you will find yourself to be included in a dying minority believing them. Btw I did not ever say 'I don't want to hear FACTS, I love FACTS, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH TO BE THE FACTS I AM INTERESTED IN.

'I don't want to hear FACTS, I love FACTS, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE THE TRUTH TO BE THE FACTS I AM INTERESTED IN.

How are facts not truth? Aren't they, by definition true? What determines what facts you are interested in?

To the previous point, do you acknowledge that the Bernie Sanders campaign confirmed this man volunteered with them?
