WaPo: James T. Hodgkinson was shooter

[kelestian]

Tom's Perriello supporter!

i don't much care about politicizing but good taste and intellectual honesty would go a long way.

Bernie did promise revolution. This is what happens.

If that's your view, than Trump is responsible for the stabbing in Portland.

Get out of here with that nonsense.

The guy from Portland was also a Bernie supporter so...

The guy from Portland was a mentally ill racist who made a racist attack on Muslim women on the subway that escalated into a mass killing.

That was also done by a Bernie supporter though...

When you have a prominent politician running around the country saying "we need a revolution" as well as other class warfare rhetoric, it is bound to be considered a call to action by some people. Not everyone agrees on what the necessary and appropriate form of action is, and you end up with things like this.

Trump will be making a statement at 11:30 EST.

Let's hope he doesn't politicize this.

My hopes for that are slim.

More likely, he ignites the war that's been smouldering for years.

[The Mikado]

Throw the book at this guy, best wishes for getting well to Scalise etc. This has no place in our system.

[Beet]

He was a Never Hillary. What a surprise.

The FBI is reportedly scuttling the rumor that the shooter asked for party ID.

The Portland killing was done by a racist who hated Muslims and picked a fight with Muslim women on the subway. He wasn't instigating a people-powered revolution, he was attacking Muslim women and then killed their defenders with a knife. 

You can see where this is going when you go to "prominent politician running around the country..." and what kind of statements they were making in 2016 and 2017 that aligned that with assaulting Muslim women.

That said, let's focus on this attack.

Cool, but that doesn't mean he's a leftist scum.

DeSantis and Duncan confirm that the man who asked was the shooter, after seeing pictures.

Huh, guess you're right about that. I apologize.

I think my point still stands, even though I used an inaccurate example. If a Trump supporter committed an act of violence like this, it would still be wrong to blame Donald Trump for it. Same thing goes for this incident and Bernie.

Why should we believe anything they say

I believe the two men were wearing different outfits

[BuckeyeNut]

In before this is the day Trump became Presidential.

The despicable libs are trying to politicize the latest shooting. Show your support for the victims by clicking here to donate to the NRA

In before this is the day Trump became Presidential.

While I doubt that he'll manage to remain presidential for very long, I agree that it was an (unusually) good statement from the Trumpster.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

Good statement from Trump. One of the better things he's done as President. I didn't expect him to keep it non-political, and am very skeptical things will remain non-political.

[KingSweden]

That exceeded expectations

Has Bernie released a statement on this yet?

[Santander]

Has Bernie released a statement on this yet?

Does he have to, other than the standard "our prayers are with the victims" tweet?

 Our prayers go out for a full recovery of Rep. Scalise, the congressional aides and police who were injured. We’ve got to stop the violence.

His tweets are by his staff, however, but he may have directed them to post this.

[DrScholl]

Sanders has a lot of fringe supporters.
