Why don't Democratic politicians attack Scalise like how the GOP attacks Dems?

[Suburbia]

Republicans are poor at messaging to attract new voters, they only gained new voters in 2016 with the Trump white middle class mania.

Republicans are good at vicious persuasion messaging and attack ads.

Republicans attack AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc., especially Donald Trump.

That's politics. You're supposed to criticize your opponents, but not personally.

Why don't Democrats attack Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise on Twitter, who was injured in a gun shooting in 2017.

Why don't they viciously attack Scalise, especially with his past, the "David Duke without the baggage"?

Because everyone already knows the entire Republican Party is David Duke without the baggage.

Scalise should be attacked on that, but it does not mean he should have died because of his views.

Scalise just had reprehensible views.

Democrats are bound to a double standard that Republicans aren't, and they know it. Disparaging a man who was nearly assassinated as Scalise was would only backfire on Democrats. Meanwhile, Trump can disparage whoever he wants, no matter how sympathetic, and suffer few to no consequences. It's just the world we are living in.

 Anyway, beyond that; for me personally, as much as I may disagree with Scalise:

Why don't Democrats attack Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise on Twitter, who was injured in a gun shooting in 2017.

Why don't they viciously attack Scalise, especially with his past, the "David Duke without the baggage"?

I'm not interested in attacking someone who can now barely walk because someone fired a round of bullets at him for politically-motivated reasons.

Why don't Dems try to run someone against Scalise in LA-01?
