The man who shot Majority Whip Steve Scalise and several of his colleagues were a member of a Facebook group called “Terminate the Republican Party,” according to reports:
“The shooter who was killed during gunfire at practice for a congressional baseball game Wednesday morning was from Belleville.
The shooter was James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, who belonged to a number of anti-Republican groups, including one called ‘Terminate the Republican Party.'”
The Facebook group reportedly celebrated the killing.
The News-Democrat also cites a Facebook profile it says belonged to Hodgkinson, which featured a post from Monday: “I Want to Say Mr. President, for being an ass hole you are Truly the Biggest Ass Hole We Have Ever Had in the Oval Office.”
Other Facebook posts support Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Hodgkinson campaigned for Sanders in Iowa.
The Facebook profile is linked to a number of left-wing, anti-Republican groups, including “Terminate The Republican Party,” among others:
I do not like Trump, Cruz, the TeaParty! or “Hate-Radio” Damn! Damn! Damn!
Expose Republican Fraud
Boycott The Republican Party
Liberal Democratic Socialist Party
Investigation of Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election
I Hate Donald Trump
The police have yet to release a motive, but these groups make it very clear that leftist hate politics played a hand in Hodgkinson’s decision to target his victims.
