Congressman Steve Scalise’s continued good progress allowed him to be transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on Thursday (June 22).

He remains in fair condition as he continues an extended period of healing and rehabilitation.

Although absolutely disgusting but the flip side is the left continues to self destruct for us.

Caught on tape: Dem official says he's 'glad' Scalise got shot.

A Nebraska Democratic Party official was removed from his post on Thursday after an audio recording surfaced of him saying he's “glad” House Majority Whip Steve Scalise got shot last week.

Phil Montag, now-former co-chair of the state party’s technology committee, was recorded saying he wishes Scalise, R-La., were “dead.”

“His whole job is to get people, convince Republicans to [expletive] kick people off [expletive] health care. I’m glad he got shot,” Montag said in the audio recording. “I wish he was [expletive] dead.”

The audio was posted on YouTube. Nebraska Democratic Chairwoman Jane Kleeb confirmed to FOX 42 that the voice on the audio recording was, in fact, Montag’s.

“We obviously condemn any kind of violence whether it’s comments on Facebook or comments in a meeting,” Kleeb said. “Our country is better than the political rhetoric that is out there from both the far right and the far left.”

Montag, in an interview with the Omaha World-Herald, said his words were taken out of context and he was "horrified" by the shooting.

“I did not call for the congressman’s death,” Montag reportedly said.

Kleeb removed Montag from his post just one week after Nebraska Democratic Black Caucus Chairwoman Chelsey Gentry-Tipton was asked to resign over a Facebook post about Scalise and the attack on Republicans. She did not.

“Gentry-Tipton had posted in a thread about the shooting: 'Watching the congressman crying on live tv abt the trauma they experienced. Y is this so funny tho?,'” the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Later, in the same thread, she reportedly stated, “The very people that push pro NRA legislation in efforts to pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life. Yeah, having a hard time feeling bad for them.”

BS

Listen to the audio. There is no doubt that he meant it.

I would've been more impressed with Montag if he had owned up to saying it and meaning it. Now he's a scumbag AND a liar.

And a moron.

How is that "taken out of context?"

I cannot think of a context that would make that statement acceptable.

He's not necessarily a moron.

He says his words were taken out of context. We, of course, know better, but we aren't his audience. His audience is the droves of mouth-breathing lib idiots who take whatever cnn and msnbc say at face value without digging deaper. So, they hear he was 'taken out of context,' they will believe him, and move on. Any attempt to hold his feat to the fire will result in them thinking the eevil republicans are out to get him.

It is scary that these idiots were almost in charge...

Montag has now been fired by the insurance company that he worked for.

Speech may be free but there can be disadvantages.

Rep. Steve Scalise has been taken back to ICU due to infection concerns.

http://www.washingtonexaminer....tion/article/2627845

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., has been readmitted to the intensive care unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and is listed in "serious" condition after concerns emerged about possible infection as he continues recovery from a gunshot during practice for the Congressional Baseball Game on June 14.

"Congressman Steve Scalise has been readmitted to the Intensive Care Unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center due to new concerns for infection," the hospital said in a statement late Wednesday night. "His condition is listed as serious."

Scalise had been upgraded to fair condition following several surgeries on June 21.

MedStar Washington Hospital Center added it would provide another update on Thursday.

Scalise's condition is downgraded and he's back in ICU and an Emory University professor feels the need to take political shots rather than voice any concern over his condition or well-wishes for his recovery. Sickening.

Emory University professor Carol Anderson used news of Rep. Steve Scalise’s condition being downgraded to “serious” on Thursday night to mock the GOP’s health plan.

MedStar Washington said late Thursday that Scalise, who was shot during a GOP baseball practice three weeks ago, would be readmitted to the intensive care unit “due to new concerns for infection.” His condition has been downgraded from “fair” to “serious.”

Anderson, who teaches African American Studies at Emory University, used the update as an opportunity to rail against the GOP health care bill.

“Wow! It’s a good thing that he has health insurance and that there aren’t any caps,” she wrote in response to the news.


Anderson doubled down on the tweet despite being called out by others for being insensitive to Scalise’s situation.


She compared Scalise’s fight for his life to people “who are scared they’re going to lose their insurance under GOP plan.”


The Daily Caller reached out to Anderson for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Released on behalf of the Scalise family, July 6, 2017, 5:50 p.m.

Congressman Steve Scalise underwent surgery for the management of infection. He tolerated the procedure well. He remains in serious condition. We will provide updates as appropriate.

Police arrest man for allegedly threatening Sen. Flake's staff

Law enforcement officials arrested a man Thursday who allegedly made threatening comments toward Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake's staff that referenced the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

The Pima County Sheriff's office confirmed that Mark Prichard, 59, was arrested on Thursday at Flake's Tucson office.

According to an aide to Flake, Prichard told a staffer:

"You know how liberals are going to solve the Republican problem? ... They are going to get better aim. That last guy tried, but he needed better aim. We will get better aim."

The statement was an apparent reference to the June 14 shooting at a Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va., where Scalise, R-La., and four others were shot by gunman James T. Hodgkinson, who was fatally shot by Capitol Police.

Flake, R-Ariz., was on the baseball field that day.

According to authorities, Prichard was among a group of protesters at Flake's office on Thursday. He was charged with criminal trespassing as well as threats and intimidation after staffers in Flake’s district office called authorities.

Pima County authorities also arrested 70-year-old protester Patrick Diehl for criminal trespass in the 3rd degree after he allegedly attempted to force his way into Flake’s office.

“No force was used in apprehending either of the two men, and no violence occurred from the protest itself,” a spokesman for the Pima County Sheriff’s office said. “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department would like to remind everyone that Sen. Flake’s office is not public property, but is rented space in a privately owned business area.”

As of Thursday, Scalise's condition was downgraded from "fair" to "serious," and he was re-admitted to the intensive care unit at Medstar Washington Hospital due to an infection he contracted.

Lawmakers described themselves as "sitting ducks" at the practice last month, and said the violence would have been a "massacre" if not for Scalise's security detail. The attack has spurred new questions over whether congressional security practices should be overhauled.

Late last month, a House committee moved to boost funding for U.S. Capitol Police, drafting a bill that would add $29.2 million to the USCP budget. The additional funding would be used to hire 39 more officers and purchase extra protective gear.

Rep. Steve Scalise returns to Congress 15 weeks after he was shot

I thought he gave an excellent speech.

And he gave some good credit, to the two capitol police officers where on his detail.

A woman (who could not be in attendance, and a black man, who received numerous standing ovations)

He gave much credit, where due, to the two police officers who saved his ass, who, inconveniently for the leftist fools, happened to be a woman and a black man.

And, if i may speak for my colleges, I will say it is highly likely, that neither of them give a shit about identity politics. They were good police officers, doing their job. I'm quite certain neither of them wanted to be shot, and in the course of their jobs, neither of them gave a good god damn about politics.

My hat is off to them, because without them, this would have been a mass casualty event. But... Their reaction, bravery, and desire to do their job ensured that only one person got shot, and the bad guy lost. Neither of them gave a good goddamn about race, identity, gender or whatever. They did their job to the best of their ability, and did it well.

They saw a crazy asshole shooting at democratically elected representatives... and they acted as they were trained, and even ingrained to do.

Both heroes and if they ever find themselves here, beers, sodas, waters, or whatever they want on me. Not only for doing their jobs they signed up for, but for helping prove that the bullshit we see on the news is exactly that, bullshit.

Perspective in time, as we watch the Justice Depart. and the FBI obfuscate and impede discovery in other ongoing situations:

"A spokesperson for the FBI’s Washington Field Office said that Hodgkinson “espoused anti-Republican rhetoric,” but that because Hodgkinson is dead, “We may never know his motivations.”

The FBI briefed the players on their findings in the fall of last year. Several members were shocked they wouldn’t call the shooting politically motivated. Palmer ended up leaving after about a half hour.

“I think most people were really upset,” Palmer says. “I think I may have been the first one that really called them out, and then after I did everybody kind of piled on. I guess everybody was upset. Everybody knew that what they were saying was a crock. The guy had a list. He came there to shoot Republicans.”

He thinks they “misrepresented what happened because of concerns over the political fallout."

“I felt like they blew it off," he said.

“They said, ‘So, essentially this was suicide by cop.’ And we’re like, ‘Only?’ And I can tell you, I can buy that from what I saw at the end, where he walked out openly shooting,” Wenstrup says. “But let’s not kid ourselves here. You look at his website. He hates Republicans. He had the names of six Republicans in his pocket. He had — his social media is full of it. He camped out there for two months planning this, to kill Republicans. Did he hope to die at the end? Maybe.”
