Did he pay them like Jessie Smolett?
Pretty much all the comments below are representative of a truly dysfunctional society…gallows humor or otherwise. The US has become a strange place.
Better outlaw bats
Regrets and concerns are like thoughts and prayers. MEANINGLESS!!!
Were they possibly throwing baseballs at him?
Ban baseball bat!!!!!! Create a new law now!!!!!
We need bat control now! These bats are too accessible, and unlicensed sellers even sell them to kids!!
If we don't get them off the street everyone will literally die.
Republicans don't even try to hide their violent fantasies and desires. They are acting on them and their terrorism is only going to get worse.
Really? This is news? Who cares.
Well i guess acording to you tube you should hug and kiss him and invite him over for dinner . is that better you tube.
Who's the nutter that assaulted them, and why? The people making a joke of it, probably wouldn't like someone smacking them or theirs with a bat.
When you normalize political violence expect it to be to be prevalent
Or as a certain someone said “it doesn’t exist, it’s just an idea”
Let’s see how long it takes before the guy is labeled a Trump supporter and MAGA Republican!!
Well…democrats want to pass gun legislation…then knife legislation…then bat legislation 🤬. What’s next…spoons, pencils…🤬🤬
Just why? When there are so many much more effective tools.
Yep. Bring on the civil war.
Circus show
We need bat control.
Threats are on the rise, but not the follow through.
I honestly thought it was gonna be deer antlers 🤣🤣🤣
Where the AR at , everything you know is not true
An article said attacker voted for Connolly and he was mentally ill .. so in other words, he was a democrat
It happens so often she can't remember the last time it happened. ?????😂
London has acid knifes machete attacks. It not the weapon it's the person.
soylent green is people.
Maybe that is why they are called Louisville slugger.
IF IT WASN'T A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER IT WASN'T A BAT.
Words matter? So does accurate reporting you government lackey.
That is so insane. That guy is so freaking crazy to attack them with a baseball bat. Thank goodness, they didn't get hurt so bad.
Time to ban baseball bats!
Someone should sue Louisville Slugger. Get that Jeter bat off the market!
Perhaps the government could begin forcing citizens to have a permit to own baseball bats.
Needs to happen every day at democrat offices
Thanks to trumps lies and his crazy talk our country is falling apart
"Threats against lawmakers in recent years have been on the rise" I wonder why…
Social justice
Why no pic? Did he not meet the right skin color?
Guess we need to ban bats now. Hope they follow thru and charge and sentencing. How did a guy carry a bat into the building with out a security check in name and appointment. I can't go into our cort house and search records on my decease mother's property without attitude of why,who,use,ID and scanner.
All the MAGATS and their predicted false equivalence arguments in the comments. Truly, y’all are so tiresome.
😂
Because T is a nasty inciter to “take your country back” nonsense. He left our great nation w a cult. America is fed up with this nonsense. Insurrection Jan 6th isn’t enough for these domestic terrorists. Accountability……..
Are we finally going to accept that it’s conservatives that are the real problem?
Wait till the Social Security checks stop next month…
Proof anyone who wants to physical harm a human. They'll use anything as a weapon.
They say if someone doesn't like you, THEY are the problem – if nobody likes you, YOU are the problem. Nobody like Washington politicians these days, for good reason and they need to come to grips on why that is.
