House Majority Leader Steve Scalise is finally getting answers eight years after a leftist gunman nearly took his life. The FBI admitted they lied about the 2017 congressional baseball shooting being “suicide by cop.” New documents prove the attacker specifically targeted Republican lawmakers in a brutal act of political violence.
James Hodgkinson didn’t just snap. He spent years ranting online about “terminating the Republican Party” and called Trump a “traitor.” The shooter carried a hit list naming six conservative congressmen when he opened fire on innocent Americans practicing baseball. This wasn’t random – it was a calculated attack on democracy.
For years, deep state bureaucrats at the FBI buried the truth. They ignored clear evidence that Hodgkinson wanted to slaughter Republicans. Scalise revealed agents even tried calling the shooting “suicide by cop” while he was still recovering from bullet wounds. Brave patriots in Congress had to walk out of sham hearings demanding real justice.
The cover-up crumbled when Trump-appointed leaders took charge. FBI Director Patel released hidden documents showing the shooter’s true motives. GOP investigators found proof the bureau protected Democrats by downplaying this hate crime against conservatives. The American people were lied to for nearly a decade.
Heroic Capitol Police officers David Bailey and Crystal Griner took bullets stopping this madman. They embody the courage missing from Washington bureaucrats who betrayed Scalise. While true patriots bled on that field, Obama-era holdouts in the FBI erased the shooter’s political hatred from the record.
This wasn’t just one crazed Bernie Sanders supporter. It was a warning sign about left-wing violence that’s only gotten worse. Antifa riots. BLM chaos. Now assassination attempts on conservatives. The same radical rhetoric that fueled Hodgkinson’s rampage still poisons our streets and schools today.
Thanks to Trump’s leadership, the truth is finally exposed. Former Congressman Mo Brooks – whose name was on the hit list – praised the updated investigation. He said only Trump’s team could clean up the FBI’s swamp of lies. Every patriot should demand answers about who ordered this cover-up.
The GOP is fighting back with a new bill to protect conservatives from political violence. Scalise vows to pass strong laws stopping leftist extremists. After years of being shot at and smeared, Republicans won’t let deep state traitors silence them. This is about survival – our values, our leaders, and America itself.
