Oh, there were a bunch of Congresspeople at this location and Scalise was just shot by chance?

Yeah, can't really draw a motive from that.

If Scalise was targeted specifically though, it was definitely ANTIFA. He has a history of ties to White  nationalists.

I really sincerely hope he wasn't targeted though. The left would have a hard time explaining why it wasn't justified given all their recent "punch a Nazi" rhetoric.

Normalization of political violence needs to stop.

This is horrible.

Also, a general suggestion to everyone: don't immediately play politics with something like this.  We don't know anything about the shooter.  He might be a leftist, or he might be an anarchist.  For all we know, he's a Trump voter.  But no matter what he is, it doesn't matter--this is wrong.

Any infos about the motives of the terrorist?

Apparently he asked if they were Reps or Dems before he shot, so apparently anti-Republican. Don't know if this claim is valid but it is being reported. Maybe he was leftist or anarchist, possibly a disgruntled vet if he was a middle aged guy with weapons training but that is just suspect profiling on my part. Will update if I hear more.

Even though we don't know the motive, people on the left preemptively making the disingenuous argument that anarchists aren't leftists.
