Donald Trump Jr. blames GOP whips shooting on Shakespeare production depicting presidents murder

The president’s son, however, latched onto reports that the gunman asked whether lawmakers practicing before Thursday’s annual inter-party baseball game were Democrats or Republicans before opening fire.

Trump Jr. retweeted a report about those witness claims, and he also approved another tweet by a conservative commentator linking the shootings to a recent production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” that depicted the president’s assassination.

that the Cesar stand in has been somebody on the political hotseat. Recently Obama and Hillary were used and I bet if you take it back aabout 15 years there was probably a Bush stand in.

I have never seen any democratic candidate or politician suggest using guns against their political opponents. However the GOP loves to do so including our current POS in the white house. So I don't accept that liberal or democrats are responsible for the violence or the horrid state of the country. Trump you own this.


“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”
