Illinois State Senator In Trouble After Skit About Trump Assassination

Whenever I think they’ve reached the depth of their foolishness they demonstrate a rung beneath the former. And the circus continues.

Sandoval apologizes for mock Trump assassination photo at political fundraiser

An Illinois state senator is in trouble with *everyone*, including their own party, after a fundraiser they did included a skit where someone assassinated Trump.

Did this person just not understand how massively bad an idea this was?

It's not a good look when democrats adopt the ways of the GOP.

Babies and the president. They seem to have a one-track mindset.

They never actually killed a President. Just fantasied about it. Nothing like what happens to the babies at all.

I still don't recall a Republican doing this.

Thank goodness that when something so unthinkable as this stunt is tried, it gets a bipartisan rejection. That is at least a small return to civility, even if Antifa and The Squad, etc. continue to get a pass from one of the political parties. Let's hope that some kind of corner gets turned thanks to the response to this event in Illinois.

You may not recall, but nonetheless they have. I agree with @FenderTL5, Democrats should not adopt the behavior of the GOP.

In the post I was referring to the term was 'depth of foolishness". That is not limited to just Trump and the Republicans.

I don’t seem to recall a Democrat in Congress coming up with such a play either.

It is Illinois, my home state. Having watched the insanity that goes on in our legislature, I would say the answer is "probably not".

The Dems aren't quite there yet - the rest of this guy's party has condemned his poor behavior.

People need to know , you can't lower your self to Trumps standards. Just because Trump doesn't get into trouble. Doesnt mean you won't get into trouble.

Instead they have a president bragging about being able to shoot a voter on the high street and still be elected.
