A little over a year ago, Rep. Steve Scalise nearly died after a man who was out hunting Republicans shot him at a baseball practice. Even today, he still needs to walk with crutches.

And now another man has been arrested for threatening Scalise by voicemail.

Now I’m going to give you the perp’s name here just once — it’s Carlos Bayon. From this point he will not be named again. What I will tell you, however, is that he’s a 63-year-old native of Puerto Rico who lives in New York State. He also wants Steve Scalise dead:

“Hey listen, this message is for you and the people that sent you there. You are taking ours, we are taking yours. Anytime, anywhere. We know where they are. We are not going to feed them sandwiches, we are going to feed them lead. Make no mistake you will pay. Ojo por ojo, diente por diente (Spanish for “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth). That is our law and we are the majority. Have a good day.”

He wasn’t satisfied with just threatening Scalise, either. This perp also sent the same message to Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington State.

What’s more — these are yet two more Republican legislators in a growing list of those who have received death threats. On Saturday NJ Rep. Chris Smith received death threats from a New Jersey man.

You didn’t know about that? Hmm, wonder why the media didn’t say much about it. I think this guy knows:

"Dereal Finklin, 43, who is a registered Democrat in East Orange, was charged with making terroristic threats against the congressman on Saturday."

This happened on Saturday. I guess the MSM was too busy pearl clutching over Jim Acosta to report this. https://t.co/tNyu4ACyX5

Smith, Scalise, and McMorris Rodgers are now part of the club whose members also include Rep. Diane Black, as well as Rep. Jason Lewis and Sen. Rand Paul. All of them have received death threats. In the case of Lewis and Paul, perps threatened their family members, including threats to chop up Paul’s family with an axe. And then there was the guy who stood outside Rep. Lee Zeldin’s office, saying he’d kill Trump supporters.

Do you know what the common thread is here? That’s right — all these members of Congress are Republican.

Gee, I wonder why these threats are happening. You don’t think it could be stuff like this, do you?

Of course it is. Especially when such vitriol fuels the rage of people like Josh Androsky, who has no clue what the First Amendment allows, but uses it to justify starting a bar fight in LA last month against men wearing MAGA hats. Because anyone wearing a MAGA hat is a Nazi, right? And they have no First Amendment rights, either:

“The First Amendment protects the right to peaceably assemble. There’s no such thing as a peaceable assembly of Nazis. Just by virtue of their ideology, they are causing harm.”

But does the MSM worry about violence against GOP officials or people who voice support for the President? I’ll give a big NO for $100, Alex.

Meanwhile, Jim Acosta and his fellow media travelers are still clutching their pearls and whining over why anyone would call the press an “enemy of the people.” But what’s more important to the media — the lives of Republican public officials like Steve Scalise, the rise in political violence, or the feelz of blowhard reporters?
