One tea party leader says that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) has herself to blame for getting shot in the head Saturday.

The Arizona congresswoman shouldn’t have attended an event “in full view of the public” if she had security concerns, according to Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries.

Giffords warned MSNBC’s Chuck Todd last year that there would be “consequences” to violent rhetoric and imagery after Fox News’ Sarah Palin released a graphic which placed crosshairs over the congresswoman’s district.

“But the thing is that the way that has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district,” Giffords said. “And when people do that, they’ve gotta realize there’s consequences to that action.”

But Humphries thinks Giffords was just speaking out against Palin for political gain.
