GOP: "What?! You can't even open fire on your political opponents anymore! This 'Woke' country is so biased towards Republicans!"
Maybe Trumpf can bail him out?
Republicans will soon all be labeled enemies of America and domestic terrorists.
TIME FOR MAGA-PATRIOTS TO TURN HIM LOOSE – THE 2ND AMENDMENT SAYS SO – IT IS OUR RIGHT !!!!
Well at least the Republican representatives are being consistent. At this point, I won't even give grief to Republican supporters. No party wants scum in its ranks.
So, this nut will spend a long prison sentence, but soon he will have a cell mate, his idol magazine Donald trump,😊
This is clearly attempted murder.
Another GOP clown. Maybe several decades in prison will help clear his head.
Another Trump supporter will go to prison on the altar of Trump.
The voters chose wisely. The red party is a bunch of pathetic sore losers.
This guy was actually vetted by the New Mexico Republican Party.
Even if he became eligible for office after his felony conviction, couldn't the local GOP prevent him from running as a republican?
2020 will go down as the year that the GOP decided that anyone, and I do mean anyone, can be a candidate for them. They were willing to scrape the muck and sludge at the bottom of the barrel and put money behind them for a run.
He should've ran as a Dem. With that history, he would've won.
This is typical for all Republicans. This is what they all want. They are incapable of expressing positive human emotions, and only express hate, anger, fear, contrarianism, sarcasm, and violence against the people who feel hope, love, and empathy. Republicans are starting a civil war.
Trump's likely running mate in 2024. He "owns the libs".
Biden is using the bad weather in California as a deflection for his stealing classified documents.
It is so sad how the gop is now the party of criminals and violence…🙁
What is the recidivism rate for republicans?
Notice how NO DEMS are ever doing such whining evil crimes!! ONLY tRumpers of the sick, evil GOP do this!!
So its ok to claim the Dems are whining about nothing, yet this guy shoots at Dems. Looks to me like exposing this guy for what he is–which is very obvious-is fact, not opinion. GOP taking gaslighting to a new level.
MAGA has apparently decided lawsuits and coups are so last year and have moved on to drive-bys
Gee; where would anyone get the insane idea of a "stolen" election and "rigged" voting? This is why Trump's moronic rhetoric matters … it leads to things like this.
I wonder what situation that y’all might be envolved that made him act like that and y’all will never say , it’s on and poppen he has a Latino name I’m surprise they didn’t shoot him and say he killed himself and be said in the media like many others that will never know 😮
Yeah and Leland Yee was a Democrat senator from San Francisco who got caught trafficking arms the Abu sayyaf. so what's your point fake news media? A criminal is a criminal whether a Republican or Democrat.
Love the biased reporting. Msm is propaganda.
GOP= Gang Of Psychos 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If he was a former Democrat candidate you wouldn't be seeing this in the news!
Another Republican terrorist? What a shock!
I believe this guy has a mental illness
Wow…MSNBC has spent more air time on this than Hunter and the Classified Docs combined! Must be a life changing story!
Gop = Domestic terrorism.
PERIOD.
We all know who is cheering for him….
We all know who is cheering for him….
Next stop: Guantanamo
Wow this is scary. Make you wonder if elected officials are making people want to do something like this by the laws they pass. Crazy
I think it’s fair to say that Trump emboldened these radicals.
💩
Hes a former candidate this is silly news
The world is in confusion, we don’t know if the media is the criminal, the government, the church leader, the civilian, because the world is plagued with falsehood.
With a name like Peña he must be a member of one of the Infallible Castes.
If his skin were darker, no charges would be filed..
Counter suit
Hey look another MAGA foo
Definitely MAGA Presidental timber. 🐘🐘🐘🐘💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Typical GOP employee… Way to go Republicans…
the liars have destroyed our state
