QUESTION: Did Bernie Sanders ever speak about Steve Scalise as evil or as an enemy??

I seriously don't know the answer to this. But Fox and the White House are making an equivalency between Sanders' responsibility for the Scalise shooting and Trump's responsibility for the pipe bombs. But if Sanders did not go after Scalise (or even mention him at all?) then the level of responsibility is dramatically different.

Guess how Sanders reacted to the shooting of Scalise? Hint, demonstrably different than the way Trump responded to the bombs.

A sample:

Mobs were screaming "lock her up" at a Trump rally just last night.

Anything to deflect from Trump's responsibility for the situation.

The mainstream media’s bothsiderism only exacerbates this problem.
