Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul revealed on Wednesday that the media largely ignored a key detail from the attempted mass murder of Republican lawmakers last year at a baseball field in Virginia.

Appearing on Fox News' "FOX & Friends," Paul condemned the violent rhetoric of the political Left and the Democratic Party and warned that someone is going to end up getting killed if the inflammatory rhetoric doesn't stop.

"I was there at the ball field when Steven Scalise almost died from a very, very angry violent man who was incited really by rhetoric on the left,” Paul said.

"And this hasn’t been reported enough, when he came on the field with a semi-automatic weapon firing probably close to 200 shots at us, shooting five people and almost killing Steve Scalise, he was yelling 'this is for healthcare!" Paul said. "He also had a list of conservative legislators, Republicans, in his pocket that he was willing to kill."

"So what happens is that when Democrats say 'get up in their face,' they need to realize that there are a lot of unstable people out there," Paul continued. "There are people with anger issues, there are people who are prone to violence."

And I've yet to see a single rat interviewee who will simply condemn the leftwing violent rhetoric and its results we hear and see every day.

They either ignore it, rationalize it, or claim its equivalent to 'right wing rhetoric'.

Antifa is getting more and more violent in their protests.  It's just a matter of time

It seems every Dem candidate this campaign season is harping on pre-existing coverage and how heartless the Republicans are for supposedly ending it.
Yeah, "healthcare" (i.e., medical treatment that someone else pays for) is such a good reason to kill someone.

But.... they didn't end it.  I know the leftie rags like the New York Slimes is lying to people telling them they did, but.... not true.

Exactly, and every single Dem candidate's TV ad (at least the ones I've seen) persists in that lie.

As a self employed person the ACA destroyed my health insurance. The *&%$'s at the NYT have yet to speak for me.

Yep.  My best friend, who has diabetes, said she'd read a NYTimes piece about "TrumpCare" that eliminated the pre-existing coverage ... and she was really concerned about it.  I told her it's the NYSlimes.  They lie.  Chill out.  lol

Just sent her that article link, too.

There is no such thing as "TrumpCare".  (another lie)

And they never will.   They don't give a tinkers' damn about you and me, or about the average, working American.

But we knew that.

When you have a former first b$#tch, Sec State and President candidate along with a former Attorney General and other Dem politicians inciting this in your face brand of political mayhem, it’s nothing less than tyranny. Until these people start getting arrested for crimes, it will continue and get worse. Antifa is only part of the problem.

[TomSea]

And the key detail is 200 shots.  I'm surprised it didn't turn out worse.

[Emjay]

And the key detail is 200 shots.  I'm surprised it didn't turn out worse.

I agree.  It is dangerous and the traitorous press is covering it up, overlooking it, or justifying it.

The scenes Fox showed in Portland were frankly terrifying and even more terrifying there that the police were not taking any action.

Rand Paul Reveals Key New Detail About Man Who Tried to Assassinate GOP Lawmakers

By Rusty | Featured Contributor | October 11, 2018 3:02PM

Senator Rand Paul revealed that the man who opened fire on Republican lawmakers during a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, last year, shouted ‘This is for healthcare!’

The information had thus far been ignored by the media well over a year after the mass assassination attempt.

Paul was on the practice field when James Hodgkinson, armed with weapons and a target list of Republicans, nearly killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA).

During an interview with “FOX & Friends,” Paul opened up about the motive.
