Quote:A Facebook page belonging to a person with the same name includes pictures of Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, and rhetoric against President Trump, including a post that reads: “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with Hodgkinson during their work together in Iowa on Sanders’s presidential campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

Hodgkinson reportedly opened fire on a group of congressmen and their staff as they practiced for a congressional baseball game, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and a staff member of Rep. Roger Williams, as well as two Capitol Police officers assigned to protect Scalise.

Put the highlights in the quote for anyone who can't read the site at work or something. Tried to C&P the whole thing like I normally try to do, but it turned into a blob of text with no formatting, for some reason.
