They are going to take this and milk this for anything they can to be able to smear anyone who ever supported Donald Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just look back and compare when I was in Congress. One event that we faced was the attempted assassination of Republican members of Congress on the baseball game. I actually was on the field,\u201d DeSantis continued. \u201cIf you do not have the Capitol Police there, you probably would have a dozen people assassinated. That was like a one-day, two-day story. That was not something that the Capitol-based press wanted to talk about. Why? Because it totally undercut their preferred narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman responded to the remarks from DeSantis by writing: \u201cHe\u2019s arguing the shootings didn\u2019t get much coverage? Pretty sure they were a huge story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is where Ham jumped in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI lived a block from the baseball field. Under 48 hours, the news vans were gone. I was on TV, live from the baseball field where they played the game a day later, after almost being canceled by mass murder, but my topic was \u2018Mike Pence reportedly hired a lawyer,\u2019\u201d Ham wrote. \u201cYou\u2019re welcome to talk yourself into idea that a similar murder attempt on an entire team of Democrats would have gotten the same treatment. I think the shooting of Gabby Giffords is pretty analogous and disproves that theory. Even without that data point, it\u2019s just not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">You&#8217;re welcome to talk yourself into idea that a similar murder attempt on an entire team of Democrats would have gotten the same treatment.

Moving on after 48 hrs would be wrong for that and for Gabby Giffords! But the coverage was what it was, Scalise\u2019s return to Congress was very sparsely covered, and the anniversary was barely mentioned,\u201d Ham continued. \u201cI checked at the time, and it is real. News vans were staked out at the home of the parents of Elizabeth Lauten, the GOP staffer who criticized Obama\u2019s daughters on Facebook that time, for longer than they were at the practice baseball field. That\u2019s not just a news cycle issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I checked at the time, and it is real.

Yes, this is within 24-48 hrs that this was a story,\u201d Ham responded. \u201cThis segment was based on the galactically stupid Sanford contention that it was *Trump\u2019s rhetoric* that caused it, bc of course. Pointed out Nats Park hit bc it was overlooking the game &amp; yet not focused on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you need the rest of my itinerary from that day and the day after, which again, were basically the only days this was a national story, which was my point?\u201d Ham continued. \u201cGot jack to say about Cuomo and Toobin, but gotta fact-check me when he\u2019s got nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne jacked off in front of female colleagues and one violated every conflict of interest rule in journalism, lied about it, and got fired, but I\u2019m the issue bc I think the Congressional baseball shooting was covered too lightly and taxes are too high,\u201d she concluded. \u201cSure, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
