Mississippi congressman's staffer says 'don't miss next time' after Trump assassination attempt
2024-07-14
[JustTheNews] A now-deleted Facebook post by a staffer of Mississippi's lone Democrat congressman appeared to support the attempted liquidation of former President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
 on Saturday.

The deleted post by Jacqueline Marsaw, a field director for U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, said "I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn't me talking."
Personnel is policy. And some people like that kind of attitude in their staffers.
The Mississippi Republican Party's X account said Thompson should "FIRE his field director for condoning the attempted liquidation of President @realDonaldTrump !!!" The post also said state Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
 "must repudiate these despicable statements."

Trump was maimed in the ear and rushed off the stage Saturday at a rally in Butler, Pa. by U.S. Secret Service agents and other law enforcement officers.

In a post to X after the shooting, Thompson said "There is no room in American democracy for political violence. I am grateful for law enforcement’s fast response to this incident. I am glad the former President is safe, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved."

Thompson is the author of the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act. House Resolution 8081 would strip Secret Service protection for anyone convicted of a state or federal crime and sentenced to a year or more in prison.

#1  I listened to the Biden address after the assassination- yes it was an assassination not an attempt unless we plan to spoon the brains back into the innocent bystander and are really good at resurrection prayers. Biden said THE IDEA about ten times in a row again like his needle was stuck in a scratch. It reminded me of the time that he told us that ANTIFA was not real and just an IDEA. I wonder if this guy was ever sprung from jail by Kamala’s ANTIFA defense fund.
