Videos of Top 5 Most Stupid Leftist Comments of the Week June 11 1. Terry McCauliffe: How much gun violence is there? From The Daily Caller: Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vastly overstated the number of Americans killed by firearms on a daily basis in his call for gun control shortly after Wednesday’s shooting at a congressional Republican event. McAuliffe was asked by a reporter at a press conference on the scene of the shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, what more could be done to protect congressmen after Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise and others were wounded by a gunman. “We need to do more to protect all of our citizens. I have long advocated — this is not what today is about — but there are too many guns on the street,” the governor began his response. “We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence,” he confidently asserted, without immediate correction by staff. “I have long talked about this.” McAuliffe then gave examples of the kinds of gun restrictions he would like to see put in place. “Background checks, shutting down gunshow loopholes,” he said. “That’s not for today’s discussion, but it’s not just about politicians. We worry about this every day for for all of our citizens.” He later corrected himself to say “93 individuals” after being asked by another reporter on the first number he gave. 2. Nancy Pelosi: Scalise is dead? "Our hearts are broken over the assault that was made, really, on all of us...but personally heartbroken over the dea…ah, at what happened to Steve Scalise, our colleague." Pelosi appeared to begin to say Scalise’s “death,” when he is very much still alive, but being treated for his heinous injuries. She made the comments to reporters at the Capitol Hill Thursday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with him and Matt Mika,” she added, referring “as they continue with their, the care that they need, but also as we do pay tribute to them, identify with them.” “Use all of our energy, just like sports,” she continued, and all your energy for them to get well. We all have to pray and identify with their concern.” The MedStar Washington Hospital Center released a statement updating the condition of the grievously injured congressman. “Earlier today, Congressman Steve Scalise underwent a second surgery related to his internal injuries and a broken bone in his leg,” the statement read. “He remains in critical condition, but has improved in the last 24 hours. The Congressman will require additional operations, and will be in the hospital for some time,” it added. “At the request of the family, we will continue to provide periodic updates.” 3. Pelosi: Who's to blame for Democrat who shot Republicans? Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction Pelosi blames President Trump and the GOP the day after a Bernie Sanders supporter gunned down Republicans at a baseball game. Republican Congressman Scalise was shot by a radical left-wing Bernie Sanders supporter, yet Nancy Pelosi attacked Trump and Republicans for what she says, "created the hostile environment". A reporter asked Nancy Pelosi if coarsened political rhetoric equally affects the right and the left. Pelosi responded, “NO, I DON’T”. She added, “It didn’t used to be this way. Somewhere in the 90’s, Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clinton’s…and that is what has continued. When the President says ‘I can shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and nobody would care’, when you have somebody say ‘beat them up and I’ll pay their legal fees’, when you have all the assaults that are made in Hillary Clinton, for them to be so sanctimonious is something that I really am almost sad that I had to go down this path with you because I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to have the fullest discussion of it. It will be for another day.” 4. Bernie Sanders: Politics of love Perhaps Bernie Sanders would like to walk this statement back? Then, perhaps he can get Leftists to admit that they are hateful brutal people willing to kill over their twisted ideology? 5. NYT: Still going after Sarah Palin? Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is considering suing the New York Times for libel. The Times published a Wednesday editorial falsely accusing Palin of inciting Jared Lee Loughner to shoot Rep. Gabby Giffords in 2011. However, it has long been established that there is no evidence whatsoever linking Palin to the attempted assassination. Thus, Palin tweeted that a journalist suggested to her on Thursday that the Times “has fulfilled the two criteria for libeling a public figure”—a reckless disregard for the truth and malice. Further, Palin hinted that she is “talking to attorneys this AM and exploring options.”
