We’re not sure how we missed this one yesterday, but sweet fancy Moses, it’s bad.
After Mother Jones’ Clara Jeffery defended Jennifer Rubin’s God-awful take on the bomb scares:
.@JRubinBlogger is correct: we've never seen a mass assassination attempt on this level before.

RedState’s Andrea Ruth was won of many who called her out:
This is a pretty stupid tweet just 16 months after the Republican softball practice was shot up.

CNN contributor Jeff Yang saw a perfect opportunity to chime in — with this:
The attack on the softball game was a barely planned assault in which a man with two legal weapons spontaneously brought them to a public area and used them in a firefight. It was a horrific tragedy. But the man had no idea who he was targeting until he got there.

What. The. Hell.
Well, the internet must have been running low on moronic hot takes. Thankfully, Jeff is here for us. https://t.co/3ycFkMkK0l

I've seen some bad takes on the twitters, but this might be the worst take ever.

No, no, and uh… no.

This is a lie. Several lies actually
— Chris (@chrimyer) October 25, 2018
It has to take serious effort to be that dishonest.
— William Keane (@largebill68) October 25, 2018
This is completely untrue.
— Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) October 26, 2018
Uh, this is is blatantly false.
— Steve Rasch (@steverasch) October 26, 2018
This is completely false. And you're crazy.

He knew he was attacking republican congressmen.
— Sarah Irwin (@sirwin9) October 25, 2018
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. He knew exactly who he was targeting. He was motivated by what he perceived to be threats to Obamacare and targeted Republicans. He had a list of Republicans on him. Please stop spreading lies. https://t.co/8jY5QC3zIb https://t.co/6hAoV4PA0Y

Forget it … he’s rolling:
Hodgkinson had to ask Ron DeSantis if it was Democrats or Republicans on the field!
Meanwhile, these bombs were illegal WMDs designed for mass mayhem, sent in targeted fashion to people Donald Trump has specifically criticized. It’s not the same. Most importantly, it’s not over.

Dude.
"WMDs"?!?!
Duuuuuude, seriously? ???
— Acquisitive Chuckle (@Acq_Chuckle) October 25, 2018
Seriously:
It was premeditated, he had a list, he brought more weapons and ammo, he targeted the baseball field because it had little security, he asked to make sure beforehand that the team practicing was the GOP team, he knew damn well who he was targeting. HE HAD A LIST.
— Political Poultry (@WhiteMeatPride) October 25, 2018
He did not have a list. They found a list of political officials later that did not in any way match the people at the softball field.
He clearly wanted to kill Republicans, and any high profile ones would do. But the point is that that’s different from targeting individuals.

What?!
