The shooting of anyone is a serious situation. When someone is targeted simply because of their race, political alignment, gender, religious beliefs or anything else, it is a situation that needs to be taken very seriously. Everyone deserves the right to their own opinion. It is what makes the United States so great. The founding fathers built the United States on a place of freedom, allowing those to express themselves in demonstration and in speech. While Democrats and Republicans often do not agree on issues, it is the right of both sides to have their ideas, as long as it doesn’t cause harm to those on the opposite side. Sadly, this notion is time and time again put to the test by deranged individuals who believe violence is the answer.
Recently, a gunman open fired on Republicans practicing softball. All they were doing was enjoying one of the great summer past times millions of others throughout the country enjoy. While thankfully none of the individuals (outside of the gunman) was killed, several individuals, including Republican congressman Steve Scalise were hit and seriously injured.
President Donald Trump asked both parties to come together with this issue, as it affects both sides, not just Republicans. Despite this plea to bring everyone together, a Democrat strategist actually had the audacity to introduce the tag “#HuntRepublicans” following the shooting. Who started the hashtag and asked for the actual shooting of Republicans around the country? Watch the video to learn more.
