Sassy Liberty AMERICA’S FREEDOM FIGHTERS – 

Republican Congressman and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot early hours of Wednesday morning in Alexandria, Virginia.  He and others were practicing for the upcoming Congressional baseball game at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park. It is believed that Republican Congressman and staffers were deliberately sought out and targeted.

Florida Congressman Ron DeSantis, who left the park just moments prior to the shooting, told Fox News that a man walked up to him as he was walking to his car and asked: “whether it was Republicans or Democrats out there.”

While all of us on the right are wishing the best for House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and the other four who were injured, liberals are celebrating the act of terrorism in our nation’s capital.

Scalise was shot in the hip and is currently believed to be in stable condition. At least five people were hit – two of Scalise’s staffers and two Capitol Police officers. One of the officers was shot in the chest. Both officers are said to be in stable condition as well.  The condition of Scalise’s staffers is unknown at this time.

A gunman armed with a rifle attacked the group near a YMCA in the city of Alexandria, firing dozens of shots. A witness said he heard a “wave of gunfire” and saw 10-15 people flee the field. He said he also saw men returning fire from behind what looked to him like a federal vehicle.

Donald Trump said he is “deeply saddened” after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot Wednesday morning at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va.

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.

The White House issued a statement from the president –

“The Vice President and I are aware of the shooting incident in Virginia and are monitoring developments closely. We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected.”

A congressional baseball game had been scheduled to take place Thursday. Media reports indicate that Scalise and the other victims were practicing for that game. Reuters is reporting that 15-25 lawmakers were at the baseball field when the attack occurred, along with a dozen staff members and security personnel.
