"In 2006, he (James Hodgkinson, the gunman who viciously attacked US congressmen practicing for their annual baseball charity game) marched into his female neighbor's home to retrieve his underage daughter, pulling the girl out by her hair.
The daughter then fled and hid in the neighbor's car along with the neighbor, but Hodgkinson got access, punched the woman in the face, cut the girl's seatbelt and - along with his wife - pulled the girl out of the car.
He was not convicted.
Lyndon Evanko of Belleville, Illinois, a now-retired lawyer who defended Hodgkinson in that incident, said he was 'a pushy little b*****d, an in-your-face kind of guy,'
'He believed what he believed and he wasn't going to take any s**t from anybody,' Evanko said.
'He was a bit of a misanthrope. He came across as a very irascible, angry little man, but not somebody I would expect to do something like this.
'I would have clients I would suspect for doing something like this, but he's not the one I would have pegged for it. He never had a felony. It was all penny-ante stuff.'"
does this sound like a mentally stable person to you?
Hodgkinson was also reported to have posted online that trump is a traitor and that he (trump) should be in prison. sound familiar? during the presidential primary and election campaign, trump publicly and repeatedly maligned his opponents, including those in his own republican party. trump repeatedly called hillary clinton "crooked hillary" and said that she should be in prison.
yesterday trump, in one of his now patented reversals, condemned uncivil speech with unadulterated hypocrisy.
trump isn't the only political hypocrite around. congress is full of hypocrites, on both sides, who routinely trash their opponents.
so what is it? do as I say, but not as I do?
