Rep. Manzullo Condemns Shooting of Rep. Giffords, Others at Arizona Market
(WASHINGTON) Congressman Don Manzullo (R-Egan) issued the following statement today in response to the shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and many others during an open house she was hosting at a supermarket in Tuscon.
Giffords is listed in critical condition at an Arizona hospital and at least five are dead, including U.S. District Judge John Roll and a 9-year-old girl.
“We are shocked and saddened by the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and others this morning during a meeting she was hosting with her constituents at a local supermarket,” Manzullo said.
“Congresswoman Giffords and I serve together on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and she is well liked and well respected by all who know her.
“We pray for a speedy recovery for Congresswoman Giffords and the other injured as we mourn those who lost their lives today in this senseless tragedy.”
Lets see the Tea party must be arranging their time to celebrate since their leader Sarah Palins target map came in handy. I hope the party is happy their hate finally found a person to corrupt. I wonder how long till Mrs Palin sets her site map on someone else. I guess this is what they were hoping for. Maybe the party should ask Her and Rush Limbaugh who is next.
Here’s a flash Jeff. People like you will play the Tea Party card but it will not work. Gabrielle Giffords is actually to the right of center and is from a quite conservative district.
If anything, people on the far left are the ones that fight against her.
Watch your own state as your liberal legislature will see is as another way to obstruct private ownsership of firearms.
I fear people like you that use issues like this to spread hatred.
The hatred was started with the map of targeted Congressman and Women who were trying to do good for the American taxpayers but because of Sarah and Rush talking hate and lies this has happened and now they won’t take responsibilty for what they started but will blame other for it.
And the Tea Party has them leading them.
You blame me,
I didnt’ start the hatred and lies.
Its easy to blame others isn’t it. Just like the 9 yr old girl that got shot its her fault right. She shouldn’t of been there.
Congresswoman Gifford was a Republican and now a Democrat.
Sorry but you have it backwards she is on the the left and she is a moderate so this is ok?
Every time I see something written by Jeff Thirtyacre is negative and vile. Sadly a young intelligent woman was senselessly shot down along with many others and rather than comment about the horrific crime, he tries to make it into a political issue bashing conservatives. Early indications are this was a anarchist or extreme left loony. Far from the Tea Party label Jeff Thirtyacre attaches.
Gifford’s ran against the Tea Party candidate and won by a slim margin because she is a moderate. The hard core liberals in her district were against her as not being liberal enough.
Because someone has a different political view than you do, is not an excuse to silent the voice by violence. Nobody is celebrating and for Jeff Thirtyacre to suggest that just shows how narrow minded and idiotic he is.
