Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is back in the intensive care unit at a Washington, D.C. hospital due to concerns about infection three weeks after he was shot during congressional Republicans’ baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia.
“Congressman Steve Scalise has been readmitted to the Intensive Care Unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center due to new concerns for infection. His condition is listed as serious,” MedStar Washington Hospital Center said in a statement Wednesday night.
Scalise was moved out of the ICU about two weeks ago and was in fair condition at the time. The congressman was shot in the hip, and the bullet “caused significant damage to bones, internal organs and blood vessels,” according to the hospital. Scalise had several surgeries to repair the damage.
If Dem gun legislation had been passed, Hodgkinson would not have been able to pass a background check and buy a gun legally. If all people at the scene besides the police had been armed and had many states’ minimum amount of training required for their gun permits (none*), there would have been a lot more dead people on the scene than just the shooter.
Another “uncomfortable” truth.
(Much as I dislike him, I am sorry for him and his family. But still biting my tongue not to blurt out “karma”!)
One thing about a .223 is they cause tremendous damage to the human body. Too bad we can’t have some controls put in place since they have no real function other than, well, to cause tremendous damage to the human body.
It is sad that Scalise was shot by a fellow citizen exercising his Second Amendment right to defend himself from a tyrannical government, but I’m sure when he’s back on his feet he’ll continue to support that right unconditionally.
All those prayers asked for should have worked shouldn’t they??
