The man who shot Steve Scalise [View all]

Was not motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Democrats or Liberals. He was motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Republicans and conservatives. Likewise,

The man who attacked Mr Pelosi was not motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Democrats and Liberals. He was motivated by the words, deeds and actions of Republicans and Conservatives.

There is zero basis for both sides do it.
