The shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise and others at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia is leaving a series of facepalm-worthy hot takes in its wake, and โanti-racism strategistโ Tariq Nasheed has now weighed in this way:
So Rep. Steve Scalise, who once spoke at a white supremacist event sponsored by David Duke (google it) was SHOT today in Alexandria.

Nasheed is being hammered for his comment:
This is categorically false, and you should be ashamed for pushing this lie. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you. https://t.co/Vf4cCMXzlX

Does Tariq Nasheed condone Steve Scalise and others being victims of assassination attempt while playing baseball?https://t.co/0uqtHHHjqu
