The presence of two DC Capitol Police officers who were assigned to guard House Majority Whip Steve Scalise at a congressional baseball practice undoubtedly saved many lives that day, but it’s never too soon for some to try and score a political point after something so awful:
The universe doesn't joke around. The officer who saved bigoted, homophobic Rep. Steve Scalise during baseball practice was a black lesbian.

Wow…
In this guy's life, it's karma to be shot because you have a policy disagreement. https://t.co/PpRoatiZrM

You really don't bother to scratch below the surface of anything, do you? https://t.co/269Nkg91SB

George doesn't realize how demeaning this is. She is a person with a name and family. He's reduced her simply to a "black lesbian." Sad. https://t.co/qBsL1bsw3b

Dehumanizing over a different opinion is what lead to the shooting, you withered crone. https://t.co/Q4NnFP5gaC

If Steve Scalise was such a bigoted homophobe, why would he allow her on his security detail and trust her with his life? https://t.co/R0k8qlaMgZ

Hi @GeorgeTakei You're actually closer to what the shooter believes than what Officer Griner believes. Live with that.

If you somehow think you're making a point bout Griner's sexuality & Scalise, you might be the actual bigot. @GeorgeTakei

Pathetic attempt to make people forget that leftists like you are whipping people up in making lists of conservatives to kill https://t.co/cNbq0zC6rl

She was a heroic American. What does her race/orientation have to do with anything? Nothing but labels for liberals. https://t.co/q9dWjfssRB

How about we just credit the officer for her courage instead of worrying so profusely about labels? https://t.co/WmAzPrbszZ

If your instinct is "backhandedly attack a guy who was shot" it's time to get off Twitter https://t.co/T0s1vJ2nkO

It takes a lot of effort to be this willingly stupid. But he persists. https://t.co/wrG5VqgXcc

A pattern was detected with Takei:
Takei called Clarence Thomas a "clown in blackface." Now he calls Rep. Scalise a bigot. Ugly pattern of hate. https://t.co/MbkORyqE6Q
