I didn’t blame Bernie Sanders when a Bernie supporter shot Congressman Steve Scalise. And I’m not going to blame President @realDonaldTrump for this nut job.
I blame the individual(s) responsible –- not someone else.

Graham: ‘I Blame’ Person ‘Responsible’ For Targeting Dems, CNN. Not Trump.
Right.
One suspect seems to support Trump. The other guy allegedly supported Bernie.
The supposed Trump supporter did something violent to perceived political opponents. The alleged Bernie supporter did something violent to perceived political opponents.
Trump calls for and/or celebrates physical violence at rallies, vilifies and dehumanizes his enemies, and has called the press “enemies of the people.” Bernie . . . um . . . Bernie . . .
Um . . .

Same thing!
Thank you, Senator Graham, for once again demonstrating the kind of principle and moral courage to which we’ve become accustomed.
Such an earnest sounding faux plea and yet another pearl clutching moment from Pinocchio’s little lap dog; Graham, momentarily, moves head from posterior body cavity into the sand.
I could almost hear Lindsey swooning from here…
Fuck you Graham. There’s an infinite supply of stupid people. When a politician says “won’t somebody do something about this horrible so-and-so”, a stupid is incited to “do something”. See Palin, 2011.
As someone else pointed out on Twitter: Bernie Sanders never targeted Steve Scalise or any of the Republicans on that fields specifically. Unlike Trump.
