Tucker Carlson pressed a Democratic strategist who started the #HuntRepublicans trend on Twitter following the attempted massacre of Republican lawmakers.
While Rep. Steve Scalise is still fighting for his life in the hospital, James Devine appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” calling on Democrats to ramp up the rhetoric.

Devine said the Left has to stand up after years of what he called violent Republican rhetoric.
“You have to fight fire with fire,” he said.
He claimed he wasn’t calling for violence.
“A guy just went and tried to assassinate Republican members of Congress,” Carlson said. “You’re an unbalanced person.”
His insane tweet storm from June 14 only backs that up:
Apparently it is open season on Republican Congressmen. Too bad nobody did something to prevent this horrible tragedy…

In 2002, Scalise was a speaker at the European-American Unity & Rights Organization (EURO), a group founded by David Duke. #HuntRepublicans
