Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) is using the tragedy in Arizona as a fundraiser. This low-life socialist has the audacity to blame right wingers for this heinous crime, when in fact the shooter was a mentally ill leftist. But of course, with all things progressive, facts don't matter. Here is the bottom feeders letter:
“This horrendous act of violence is not some kind of strange aberration for this area where, it appears, threats and acts of violence are part of the political climate,” Sanders said in his letter. “Nobody can honestly express surprise that such a tragedy finally occurred.”
"In light of all of this violence – both actual and threatened – is Arizona a state in which people who are not Republicans are able to participate freely and fully in the democratic process?” asks Sanders. “Have right-wing reactionaries, through threats and acts of violence, intimidated people with different points of view from expressing their political positions?”
“My colleague, Senator John McCain, issued a very strong statement after the shooting in which he condemned the perpetrator of the attack. I commend him for that. But I believe Senator McCain and other Arizona Republicans need to do more,” Sanders said. “As the elder statesman of Arizona politics McCain needs to stand up and denounce the increasingly violent rhetoric coming from the right-wing and exert his influence to create a civil political environment in his state.”
Maybe Bernie can ask these upstanding citizens for some cash. I'm sure they are more than willing to donate to his blood fund:
