I see this as vindication that those good old fashioned family values Republicans are quite fine with attacking members of the press, especially since the Dear Leader has called the media "the evil enemy of the American people" (or something along those lines). It'll be open season on the media before long. Of course, if/when a Democrat attacks a Republican, there will be outrage to the familiar chants of "lock him up! lock him up!" It's clearly what Jesus would do.
Remember Michael Grimm saying he would throw a reporter over the balcony and Sharron Angle suggesting that people resort to "Second Amendment remedies" if a Democrat wins? Hillary was too kind calling these people deplorable. They are dangerous and mentally unstable and need professional help.
A violent approach to politics isn't at all new for modern Republicans.
This is the party that used this:
Those of us who oppose Republicans need to realize that no matter what label we give them, they are not going to yield power peacefully or democratically, and come to a decision about the best way to oppose a deplorable group that doesn't hesitate to resort to violence.
