Colorado House Minority Leader Patrick Neville (R) sent out fundraising letter following shootings



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/06/they-tried-to-make-money-off-it-colorado-gop-leader-busted-for-fundraising-off-of-baseball-shooting/

The blog Colorado Pols reported on Wednesday that Neville sent out a fundraising letter on behalf of Colorado Liberty PAC asking to donors to contribute to combat the “hate-inspired violent rhetoric against conservatives and Republicans.”

“The left is out of control,” Neville told donors. “Their violent actions are un-American, and it needs to stop!”

“Finally, if you can, please show us that you’re not backing down by chipping-in $50 or $25 to Colorado Liberty PAC today so we can retake the State House in 2018,” the lawmaker wrote. “Your contribution today will help us advance our conservative values through passionate and peaceful civil discourse that makes our country great.”

According to Colorado Pols, Neville “ceded the high ground” by trying to raise funds off of the tragic shooting.

"He appeared to have taken Mr. Trump’s victory in November particularly hard, letting a license on his home inspection business lapse that month. And in late March, the authorities said, he relocated to Alexandria, just south of Washington."

who said on the campaign trail "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," your party started this hateful rhetoric and it started with President Carter, the Clinton's, Obama.

So, leadership and responsibility begins with YOUR PARTY, since Democrats don't campaign on the act of shooting somebody in the public streets or any violence what-so-ever!
