A staffer for Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi was fired following her vile remarks, during which she acknowledged she hoped Thomas Crooks, who focused former President Donald Trump, ‘ought to have taken taking pictures classes so he wouldn’t miss subsequent time.’
Jacqueline Marsaw took to Fb on Saturday night to precise her ideas on the incident the place Trump was almost assassinated throughout a rally in Pennsylvania.
“I don’t condone violence however please get you some taking pictures classes so that you don’t miss subsequent time ooops that wasn’t me speaking,” Marsaw wrote.
In one other submit, Marsaw wrote, “That’s what your speech received you!!”
By Sunday morning, all of Marsaw’s posts had been deleted. When questioned by the Natchez Democrat, she mentioned, “I received overwhelmed within the second,” and added, “I’m a diehard Democrat.”
Marsaw eliminated her posts upon instruction from a supervisor on Thompson’s staff. She insisted her submit was supposed for its comedian worth and to not be taken critically.

Her boss, Rep. Thompson shed crocodile tears on X in response to Trump’s brush with loss of life with a canned assertion on X thanking regulation enforcement and providing his “ideas and prayers.”
“There isn’t a room in American democracy for political violence,” Thompson wrote. “I’m grateful for regulation enforcement’s quick response to this incident.”
“I’m glad the previous President is protected, and my ideas and prayers exit to everybody concerned,” he added.
Paradoxically, Thompson authored a invoice to take away Trump’s Secret Service safety after being convicted on bogus prison prices in federal and state courts.
Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson launched a decision that may terminate Trump’s Secret Service safety. The laws dubbed the “Denying Infinite Safety and Authorities Assets Allotted towards Convicted and Extraordinarily Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act would apply to all Secret Service protectees convicted and sentenced below felony prices.
“The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service safety for people who in any other case qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony,” the announcement mentioned.
