Tom Emmer: "Most of these senators are scared to death that if they vote to reopen the govt, the insane, I would argue, the people that frankly fantasize about the assassination of our great president, that they will turn on them. They're doing this for the smallest group of ppl, the most violent"

Rep Tom Emmer (R-MN) really has risen to a level of deceit & vitriol that smacks of desperation in the GOP’s blame game, which is being done for 2 reasons… Hiding the Trump-Stein Files & slavishly betraying working class Americans in deference to billionaires. Emmer is $hameless! #GOPshutdown

Honestly, dems in office SHOULD be afraid of their constituents. We will kick them out of office if they cave to this filthy administration. We are sick of the BS on both sides of the aisle. It's not a game, not a TV show, its real life with real people hurting.

Perhaps they shouldn't have been spending their political careers nurturing and empowering the people who will seek to assassinate them.

so only the insane people fantasizing about presidential assassination in blue states would turn on their senators if they vote to reopen govt? i think you’re giving short shrift to the insane people in red states, Congressman.

F* this guy. We are non-violently supporting our Senators to make sure we dont die next year due to the health insurance spike that Tommy Boy is cheering on. Maybe his projection is that a family member in his District will lose a loved one & blame Emmer's gaslighting and intransigence?

I didn't even understand what he was saying the first 5 times I watched it. OH, he is saying the Democrats are afraid of us in a violent sense. Jesus fucking Christ. Of course they are afraid. Afraid of never holding public office again. Afraid of catching a primary. The correct kind of fear.

From the (fucking) Bible Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

One of the biggest problems in the Senate is the notion of collegiality. Democrats should be openly slamming Emmer, calling him a buffoon who would say or do anything to support Donald Trump. They should call him a moron on national television and to his face. Stop pretending he's a normal person.

So this republican … is saying republicans are scared of the crazies they created (with guns - from laws they’ve gutted)? And he doesn’t hear the words coming out of his mouth?

Fox News is spamming Schumer pics while Emmer’s talking…. Are they thinking he’s talking about democrats? Or are they trying to convince their viewers of this…
