Britni de la Cretaz, a Boston-based freelance writer for such esteemed publications as Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, The Atlantic and Marie Claire, is blaming House GOP Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) for being shot.
She pointed to a bill introduced by Scalise to relax restrictions on interstate firearm sales.
Her timing and compassion are impeccable.
The same of which cannot be said for de la Cretaz, who linked to this 2015 report. She self-describes as a “social worker” and a “feminist.”

Wilson defending his life shoots Brown. Left goes, Wilson a racist.
Bernie supporter left wing nut shoots Republican congressman and others and of course the left wing media and others are blaming POTUS.
This is the kind of left wing fake news crap that creates the environment for violence. The 2nd amendment is just fine, we need to take a look at the 1st amendment and how it is being habitually abused by the propagandists of the fake news media
Absolutely right! Rhetoric from these idiots about the Second Amendment is absurd! This is about the FIRST Amendment and what is not protected free speech. Speech that incites to riot, or promotes or incites to violence is NOT protected under the First Amendment. Rhetoric from people like Griffin, Maher, the mainstream media hate mongers and Anti-Trumpers, and, of course, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the worst offender of all Barack Obama have all crossed the line to what Rep. Rodney Davies called this morning – “political rhetorical terrorism.” It is vicious and promotes violence and this is what you get, along with idiots like this ignorant jerk who makes everything about violence about guns. Guns don’t kill people, asshat – people kill people! That’s why it is called “homo-cide”, as in homo sapiens. Get an education before you open your mouth. You are obviously a first generation descendant to cromagnon man.

Couldn’t agree more, don7650.
The “Media” today is not the same as the “Press” described in the 1st Amendment. Shut down the Media.
And yet are not the leftists always telling us, DON’T blame the victims”?? YET HERE THEY ARE doing exactly that.. Once again proof if it wasn’t for their double standards they wouldn’t HAVE ANY..
Well, yeah–you can expect variations on this theme from ALL the left-tard media LOONS. Because if they don’t blame Scalise and/or the Republicans, they would have to admit that their NON-STOP hateful rhetoric, “comedy” routines featuring bloody severed heads with the President’s face on them, “Shakespeare plays” portraying a BLOODY assassination of our President, etc. just MIGHT be to blame for “triggering” this LEFTIST LOON to drive all the way from Illinois just to turn a REPUBLICAN baseball practice into a shooting gallery. Watch them start talking about all of President Trump’s “hateful” rhetoric during his campaign, etc. as possible triggers.
I’D be interested to learn how this LOON even KNEW about the baseball practice, date and time, etc. so that he was able to travel all the way to Washington D.C. and BE THERE to commit this mass shooting. Gosh, you don’t suppose this was INSTIGATED from within the Soros/Commucrat Corruption Machine, do you? ESPECIALLY since he used a gun–handy excuse to call for more gun control, so it’s a win-win for the lousy COMMUCRATS–he got the chance to hopefully KILL some Republicans AND help promote their gun-grabbing agenda, too!
That is a good question. HOW did he know of it? Prior to the news on this shooting TELLING US people about this yearly sport event, i never even KNEW it went on..
So one needs to ask, how THIS mental wiggit found out.. Who told him?
apparently he’d been in dc for 2 weeks–this sounds like an operation, not a random occurrence. . .
engimatter, if he’d been there for two weeks planning an “operation”–and taking into consideration the INSANE HATRED of President Trump he expressed on his social media posts, I’m guessing THAT was the reason he’d been there for two weeks–hoping to get a shot at President Trump. But when he was UNABLE to GET that shot, due to Secret Service, security barriers, etc., or maybe when he realized that to even TRY for President Trump would likely result in his DEATH, he decided to target any UNARMED REPUBLICANS he could find as SAFER surrogates for the one he REALLY wanted to (and was likely SENT) to murder. The joke’s on him that those ARMED capitol police happened to be nearby, and he died ANYHOW.
SCARY that the TREASONOUS Commucrats may have graduated from POISONOUSLY HATEFUL rhetoric against our President to actually sending ASSASSINS from among their apparently LIMITLESS supply of leftist LOONS to MURDER him.
This is exactly the kind of thing Soros, Clinton, Obama and the rest of these hate mongers would do. “Losers” doesn’t even begin to cover what low lifes these people are. They should all rot in hell for what they continue to try to do to this country.
It’s a running annual event, teabag. I knew they were already practicing for it, hardly top-secret info.
You get one star from a couple of folks for stating a simple fact. I guess they scare some people.
He had been living in the area for approximately 3 months…..living in his vehicle and using the YMCA facilities. I’m sure he got wind of the upcoming game and had observed the men practicing in the morning for a while,
Ya know it’s all going to be blamed on Trump and the NRA and their supporters. The fascist left (redundant) will never take responsibility for fomenting the hate demonstrated over and over again at the so-called free speech rallies, DNC gatherings and ‘art’ (ahem) presentations.
Yet, its ALREADY mentioned that the nutter was not only a Bernie supporter, but even worked FOR HIM at one of his campaign offices..
I cancelled my RS subscription 23 years ago do to the political crap they post. I can get all this without paying a subscription, just click on the TV.
My mother made that comment earlier yesterday. They might as well take ALL the news channels and just call them all ‘politics channels’.. SINCE these days that’s all they seem to do..
Ya know, generally I feel sorry and have sympathy for innocent people who get shot through no fault of their own, but in the case of the RS reporter, I’m really tempted to make an exception.
‘freelance’–is that lefty code for ‘unemployed’?
No. I’ve been a freelance journalist and book author for more than forty years. It just means one is not under contract or salary to any particular publication. I’ve sold more than three thousand magazine and newspaper articles and columns, plus an award-winning non fiction book. I’d hardly call that “unemployed.”
Rolling Stones used to be about music, not left-wing political nonsense. Kinda like MTV used to be also.
Scalise was about to introduce a bill to free up gun ownership. That’s nice but the bill wasn’t introduced yet. So no, the shooter didn’t buy a gun because it was easier to get one.
Feminist social workers need not make political statements like this, so obviously wrong that a 5 year old could poke holes in it. In fact feminist social workers need not speak in public about anything. They have zero things of value to say. Why would I want to listen to someone who knows nothing about everything?
This is also why I don’t buy RS magazine. It’s chock-full of people who know nothing about everything.
“People who know nothing about everything.”
DrGadget, that may be the most PERFECT definition of a liberal I’ve ever seen!
>> So no, the shooter didn’t buy a gun because it was easier to get one. <<
In fact, as far as I know we don't know anything about how or where he obtained the gun. But she's not going to let that stop her from mouthing off. Fifteen minutes of fame, doncha know.
Since he lived up in Chi-raq before being in DC, he probably got it off the street like 99% of gang bangers up there do..
True thedove, but we do know for a fact that Scalise was still putting together his bill for expanding the number of “good guys with guns”. Since it was still a work in progress and not signed into law, that means it was not yet in effect.
The Media is making it look like the bill was already in effect (it couldn’t be) and that was how the shooter got his gun. And by extension, that if not for Scalise’s bill, the shooter wouldn’t have been able to obtain a gun at all. There’s no connection there. What they’re saying can’t be possible without a working time machine.
No, I don’t know how or where the shooter got his gun, but I can say with certainty that it wasn’t facilitated by Scalise drafting up a gun bill that has yet to be made into law.
>> What they’re saying can’t be possible without a working time machine. <<
There ya go again, with those pesky facts.
If some of these congressmen were armed I doubt if this unhinged lunatic would have attempted this cowardly act.
lad31boss, it seems obvious from his rabid hatred of Trump on social media that he would have PREFERRED to target our President, but either COULD not get close enough to do so because of security, barriers, etc., or else he is lucid enough to realize he would likely DIE in the attempt, so he decided to target a bunch of unarmed Republican baseball players instead, either as “stand-ins” for Pres. Trump, or just because he thought they would be safer for HIM as targets. But the joke is on HIM, because there happened to be some ARMED capitol cops there, and he ended up DEAD, anyhow!
I’d change this to say that if he KNEW there were good guys with guns in the area, he wouldn’t have attempted it.
As long as the guns are in the hands of good guys, the guns save lives. Every mass shooting in the last 20 years at least has been ended by the introduction of good guys with guns. Typically, the shooter commits suicide at that point. This one time, he was shot much earlier into the process.
The opposite is also true. If criminals KNOW an area is a gun-free zone, it invites them to show up and start a massacre. Every mass shooting in America since Columbine has taken place in a “gun-free zone”. The shooter is evil, not stupid. A gun-free zone means he can maybe take down 100 innocent people before the good guys with guns finally arrive. And this is what usually happens.
Federal Law prohibits illegal drugs from being brought into this country. Federal Immigration law prohibits entering the U.S. illegally.
Hey radical left, how has that worked out for you so far.
I so hope this b!t*h gets to meet a shooter with an illegal weapon! Run b!t*h, run. Washington DC and surrounding area have some of the most restrictive gun laws. Gun laws don’t stop the criminal, they stop honest law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves!
