Some rare good news came out of Washington this week when House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) was released from MedStar Washington Hospital after multiple surgeries from a gunshot wound, and was in “good spirits” and “looking forward to his return to work,” according to a statement by the hospital.
But the political violence that sent him to the hospital shouldn’t be forgotten.
Obviously, most Democrats don’t become physically violent over politics. But when political differences prompt violence, it historically comes from one side, and Bernie Sanders-loving would-be assassin James Hodgkinson is just the latest example.
