It’s incredible how simply being shot by a deranged leftist has led to the liberal media debating whether or not House Minority Whip Steve Scalise had it coming.
Just check out a disgusting tweet from MSNBC’s Joy Reid, who tried to find some “irony” in the potentially-deadly shooting of Scalise:
Rep. #Scalise was shot by a white man with a violent background, and saved by a black lesbian police officer, and yet… #AMJoy pic.twitter.com/Qm96T90c6Y

Oh boy, where to begin?
The “black lesbian police officer” was also shot by the assailant James Hodgkinson. So is there an irony in the fact that a far-left nutcase shot a black lesbian too? I’m not sure what the irony Reid sees in the first bullet point is supposed to be.
Regardless, the “black lesbian” was part of Scalise’s security personal, which prompted a total of zero objections from Scalise over the course of his career.
OK, so the next bullet says that it’s “ironic” Scalise is receiving care while trying to repeal ObamaCare? I’m going go out on a limb here and say there’s a zero percent chance Scalise purchased health insurance because of the individual mandate, or received any subsidies from ObamaCare for his surgeries.
And he co-sponsored a bill to repeal a ban on semiautomatic weapons? Reid is going to have to be more specific here, because nearly EVERY gun is a semi-automatic.
Bad as Reid’s post was, she wasn’t the only useful idiot trying to politicize the shooting. George Takei of “Star Trek” took the cake for ignorantly excusing Scalise being shot:
The universe doesn't joke around. The officer who saved bigoted, homophobic Rep. Steve Scalise during baseball practice was a black lesbian.

The rest of twitter then proceeded to lambaste Takei for that tweet.
You know she has a name, right?https://t.co/awEBH3vSte

Maybe instead of seeing her as a “black lesbian,” we should see her for what she is: a hero.
Her name is Crystal Griner, by the way. And she deserves a ton of praise for not only saving Scalise’s life, but also the lives of many others.
