BREAKING: @HuffPost Contributor @JesseBenn Endorses Shooting of House Majority Whip @SteveScaliseJUN 14, 2017 by charles c. johnson 0
HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP ON A STRETCHER WEDNESDAY MORNING, HUFFINGTON POST CONTRIBUTOR JESSE BENN (SOURCES: SCREENSHOTS, TWITTER)
A Huffington Post contributor endorsed the severe wounding of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise at the hands of radicalized, Rachel Maddow-loving, Bernie Sanders-supporting shooter, James T. Hodgkinson.
Hodgkinson opened fire during a congressional GOP baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday morning, striking Scalise in the hip. He was scheduled for surgery and has reportedly lost a lot of blood.
Benn found Scalise’s grave injuries amusing, calling him a “racist lawmaker” and saying “the world would be a better place without him.”

#SteveScalise once called himself "David Duke without the baggage" - the world would be a better place without him. End of story.

For violent resistance to work it'd need to be organized. Individual acts can be understandable, but likely counterproductive/ineffective.

What's more harmful: Putting millions already on the margins more at-risk via draconian policies, or shooting a racist lawmaker in the hip?

In his Twitter bio, Benn describes himself as a member of the “intolerant Left” and has a hammer-and-sickle symbol displayed. His cover photo shows President Donald J. Trump being hanged in effigy.

Hi @HuffPost, why do you continue to employ someone who calls for political violence?

In 2015, Benn also authored a Huffington Post article titled, “Towards a Concept of White Wounding.”
“It’s time for white people to share in the hurt,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Scalise is reportedly still in critical condition.

Rep. Scalise was critically injured and remains in critical condition. The other patient is in good condition.
