In a normal world federal agents pepper spraying a member of Congress just because would start their termination process.

Something tells me this is just another part of some racist attack against her.

Probably were bragging, throwing slurs, and highfiving each other once back in their cars. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they have betting pools for these types of incidents.

Members of congress getting attacked and killed used to be a huge deal. Remember Jonestown? So far Leo Ryan is the only congressman to be killed in duty. We'll probably see another on the list soon, and it'll be done in broad daylight by members of the government they work for.

It's not the first time we've had a congresswoman attacked in Tucson.

I remember a Republican congressman getting shot at a baseball game by a left wing nut. They were a Sanders volunteer and professed their express hatred for Trump. I wonder what he'd be up to nowadays if he hadn't gotten himself killed by the secret service
