re: #401 Spare O’Lake

It is partisan for Dem Congressmen to blame GOP Congressmen for these threats by far-right extremists. Yes it is.

Oh yes, it’s partisan. Doesn’t mean it’s not justified. The GOP has been playing with fire for over a year now. Riling up these idiots and telling them all sorts of absurd lies about what HCR entails. That their grandmothers will be put to death. That the bill funds abortions. That they will be forced to take government administered healthcare. That healthcare opponents will be rounded up into FEMA camps. That this plan is unconstitutional. All of it nothing but lies.

So yes, each person must take responsibility for their own actions. And the actors who commit violence against Democratic officials should be held accountable. But the GOP is without blame in this. They have created the environment of fear in which this violence is taking place.
