BREAKING: House Majority Whip & Aides SHOT, Lawmaker Asked: “Are Those Republicans or Democrats?” (Video)
Rep. Steve Scalise has been shot, according to multiple reports.
Incredible, the media has been stirring the pot of Republican hatred, and the media is failing to report on the seriousness of Antifa and similar left-wing organizations. Yet the media will blame the NRA and Guns.
TGP: Republican Representative Steve Scalise, the House Majority Whip, and his aides were shot during baseball practice on Wednesday morning.
UPDATE: Suspect is in custody and not a threat. PIO will be onscene shortly to share updates.
