Rand Paul: Media Covered Up Scalise Shooter Shouting, ‘This Is for Health Care!’



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed a shocking detail the establishment media covered up about James Hodgkinson, the left-winger who attempted a mass murder at a Republican congressional baseball practice: according to Paul, the man who almost killed Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and wounded four others was shouting, “This is for health care!”
During an appearance this week on Fox & Friends, Paul said:

I was there at the ballfield when Steven Scalise almost died from a very, very angry, violent man who was incited, really, by rhetoric on the left. And this hasn’t been reported enough: When he came on to the ball field with a semiautomatic weapon, firing probably close to 200 shots at us, shooting five people and almost killing Steve Scalise, he was yelling, “This is for health care!” He also had a list of conservative legislators–Republicans–in his pocket, that he was going to kill.

Paul was himself the victim of a brutal assault at his home late last year. Since then, people like NBC’s Kasie Hunt and other top Democrats have expressed personal delight over the savagery that left the senator with six broken ribs.

In an effort to reason with Democrats to tone down the left’s inciting rhetoric, Paul’s wife, Kelley, is speaking out. She told Breitbart News’s Amanda House that she lives in fear for her personal safety. She also penned an open letter to Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) asking him to retract his call for left-wing activists to get in the faces of Republican lawmakers. He has so far refused.
