Democratic Strategist Defends His #HuntRepublicans Tweets


A Democratic strategist criticized for tweeting “#HuntRepublicans” after a shooting that seriously wounded a top GOP leader is defending his bellicose language and doubling down on his support for “hunting.”

New Jersey political operative James Devine tweeted Wednesday that Republican Karen Handel’s victory over Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s special congressional election is evidence that Democrats should adopt more aggressive tactics. He tweeted: “it is time for hunting.”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson lambasted Devine in an appearance on his show Tuesday, calling him “unbalanced.”

Devine accused Republicans of using violent rhetoric for decades and said Democrats should “fight fire with fire.” He told Carlson he wasn’t encouraging or condoning violence.

Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot last week while practicing with other Republicans for a charity baseball game.

  1. So James Devine like to go hunting Republicans because he is “at war with selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people.”
    Last time I checked “selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people” would best describe liberal democrats from Hollywood CA and Washington DC . He probably sees a selfish, foolish & narcissistic “fat cat rebublican” every time he looks in a mirror!
    Is he on suicide watch yet? I mean its hard to be at war with yourself.

  2. Really makes me shocked how Devine refuses to apologize,and instead defends his poor choice of words after Republicans have already been hunted and shot by a shooter.
    These type of words just heat up the situation,and should be avoided at all cost.
