Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act (H.R. 8081) which called for removing Trump’s secret service protection.
The proposed bill was co-sponsored by 7 other House Dems.
The House Democrat Homeland Security Committee site issued a press release touting the bill.
Now Rep. Thompson and co-sponsors like Rep. Barbara Lee and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman have issued press releases condemning the assassination attempt. Some in the most perfunctory way possible.
“I’m praying for the victims of this heinous act of violence in Butler, PA today. I commend law enforcement for their swift and courageous actions,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman tweeted.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline Marsaw, a field director for U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, allegedly tweeted, “I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn’t me talking.”
A disturbing number of Democrats in public office helped create a climate of hate and violence, and then also did what they could to encourage and escalate hostilities and to undermine the perception that President Trump would be protected from violence.
