A collection of stories of leftist attacks on prominent Republicans October 21, 2018 John Ruberry ReadabilityBy John Ruberry Here’s a reminder that we’ve moved beyond spirited debate within our political culture into rudeness and thuggery. Take a look at the selection of stories about that descent towards anarchy. The most recent abomination occurred just two days ago as the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has harassed at a Louisville restaurant. All of these other stories are from 2018, except the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA). He was seriously wounded by a liberal activist at a practice of the Republican congressional baseball team. Each article involves, directly or indirectly, an elected Republican official, a current or former top member of a GOP administration member, or a candidate for public office. Remember, a blue wave may be coming. Are you prepared for it? Buzzfeed News: Angry protesters confronted Mitch McConnell at restaurant and threw out his leftovers.
