The Rundown - Thursday, 6/15/17: Republicans targeted

Approximately all of Thursday's show will be dedicated to discussing the many subjects emanating from Wednesday's attempted assassination of Republican congressmen and their staffers as they practiced for Thursday night's annual charity baseball game at Washington Nationals stadium.

Here are the guests we have lined up:

6:45 AM: Congressman Ken Buck

7:06 AM: David Harsanyi, senior editor at TheFederalist.com and former member of the Denver Post editorial board

8:06 AM: Former Congressman Tom Tancredo

The video below to some degree speaks for itself, but the story as told in the Washington Post (which I hesitate to link to but must in this case) is gripping:

Some resources for you:

The shooter's social media presence was wildly anti-Trump and anti-Republican:

His letters to the editor of his local paper were barely literate but I'm sure he thought he was an economic genius:

There's a lot of talk about unity, and the importance of lowering the intensity of national discourse, but is that too simplistic?

Or is this really the wages of the left's rhetoric?
