Lincoln Project co-founder Reed Galen responded to this photo of Rand Paul looking at some guns with, “I’m not saying I agree with Rand Paul’s neighbor. I’m saying I understand”:

So, a felony assault on a politician you disagree with is okay now?
Amazing. These are the “restore norms” guys. High-fiving assault on their political adversaries. https://t.co/WtVU8ChaKd

And when criticized for his tweet, Galen added “I’m not the guy preparing to fellate a wall full of guns”:

Well, it’s no so weird really:
It remains incredibly weird that we live in a media environment that is terrified of political violence, but has shoulder-shrugged (or at times laughed at) both the Rand Paul assault and the Republican Congressional baseball shooting. https://t.co/WtVU8ChaKd

This guy enabled pedophiles and he thinks he can speak with any moral authority. Would be hilarious if it wasn’t so disgraceful. https://t.co/XhwUyRtmWa

Paul’s neighbor was charged with felony assault. You covered up for a sexual predator.

Yep:
I'm not saying that Reed Galen is encouraging political violence. I'm saying that Reed Galen is certainly excusing political violence. https://t.co/WSVo0v9WD9
