''WEF ALERT''
Shooter Declared Love For Rachel Maddow’s Show In Letters To Editor

''The man accused of opening fire on a GOP baseball practice Wednesday declared his love for Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show and ranted against Republicans in a series of letters to the editor of his local Illinois newspaper.''
“One of my favorite TV shows is ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’ on MSNBC,” James Hodgkinson began in one of the letters. “On a recent show she stated that 17 very rich men are supplying the Republican Party with more than 60 percent of their campaign contributions.”
“These men are trying to buy our country,” he continued. “You know they expect something for all this money. That something is that Mitt Romney and a Republican Congress won’t raise their taxes. We all know that the rich don’t pay enough taxes.”
Hodgkinson sent the letters to the Belleville News-Democrat in 2012. The paper published the letters Wednesday after he was identified as the baseball shooter.
“I have never said ‘life sucks,’ only the policies of the Republicans,” Hodgkinson concluded in another.
He was fatally shot by Capitol police Wednesday at the scene of the shooting, leaving his exact motive unclear. But much of his Facebook presence consisted of rants against President Donald Trump and Republicans. He was also revealed to be a volunteer for the Bernie Sanders campaign.

“Letter writer Roddy Riggs reminds me of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, but I’m sure he doesn’t bring in the millions of dollars those two do,” he wrote in another letter. “They speak their lies and hatred and misdirection to anyone who will listen.”
“If I seem to be a broken record, it is because of the simple facts that need to be understood by everyone of voting age,” he continued. “I just want to let everyone know that income inequality was a factor in the causes of the Great Depression as well as the greed of Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon under the Republican Presidents Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.”
Hodgkinson also defended former President Barack Obama.
“I can’t believe how many people are upset with our president,” he wrote of Obama. “You’d think that the world was full of rich millionaires. Why else would these people talk badly about a guy who has their best interest at heart?”
“The only thing that has trickled down in the last 30 years came from Mitt Romney’s dog,” he added, dinging Republican tax policies. “Let’s vote all Republicans out of Congress, and get this country back on track.”

Virginia Will Be RED
1/ Orientation for people not up to date on the Virginia GOP election integrity effort.
We took a LOT of assets away from VA Dems. They aren't going to recover from this.
Here's some of what they lost:
2/ First thing they lost was the ability to cheat behind closed doors
Following the TVP "Eyes on Every Ballot" initiative, the VA GOP went from 33% to 95% observer coverage - 100% in deep-D areas - in one year.
They didn't get to record a ballot without GOP eyes on it.
3/ They lost the game in the courts.
The GOP was prepared with lawyers on election night; no swindle got by them.
Elias' now-legendary losing streak started with us stopping him.
We fought for and won every legal stipulation needed to enforce our rights.
4/ Zuckerbucks are no more
now illegal in Virginia
the goosing of Democrat turnout through an alleged charity - with which they still lost in 2001 - is gone
this alone is a big deficit for VA Dems to make up
5/ We hold the state executive offices
Our team WON A MANDATE to enforce election integrity - they clearly ran on this in the campaign
They are democratically empowered
and we get first all on the state's position in a Dillon Rule state
6/ We're taking over the electoral boards
As terms roll off, our new GOP Governor's appointments will shift these boards from majority Democrat to majority Republican.
An inexorable unstoppable process that will continue for four looooong years, minimum. (It will be longer).

~~oz~~FETTERMAN wife came to us as undocumented
Gisele Barreto Fetterman was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When she was seven years old, Fetterman came to the United States as an undocumented child immigrant with her mother and younger brother, taking up residence in a one-room apartment in New York City. They left Brazil due to violent crime in their community.
