It’s amazing how different the media is treating the attempted assassination of Steve Scalise by a radical leftist vs the treatment of the attempted assassination of Gabby Giffords by a radical leftist. Back in 2011 the media was obsessed, blaming Sarah Palin “targeting” congressional districts, gun rights and “right-wing” radio. The attempted assassination of Steve Scalise by a Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer wasn’t even reported much on when it happened. After it did, Steve Scalise, Donald Trump and Republicans were blamed as the cause of the shooting by the Democrat voter who did the shooting.

Now compare the Washington Post six days post-Giffords (Giffords was #1 topic) to the Washington Post today: zero stories on the shooting. pic.twitter.com/hcclUEhfV7

A Democrat activist attempted a mass assassination of elected officials less than a week ago. CNN's front page has 0 stories about it.
