House Dem Staffer Fired After Posting ‘Don’t Miss Next Time’ Following Trump Assassination Attempt

A staffer for Democratic Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson has been fired after suggesting “shooting lessons” following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump Saturday.

Jacqueline Marshaw, a field director for Thompson, reportedly made the post soon after the attack on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time oops that wasn’t me saying that,” Marshaw’s now-deleted post said, the Clarion Ledger reported.

Marshaw is no longer on the congressman’s staff, Thompson said in a statement Sunday.

“I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment,” Thompson said in the statement shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

The post sparked backlash from the Mississippi Republican Party, which demanded that the staffer be fired.

“ should FIRE his field director for condoning the attempted assassination of President ,” the Mississippi GOP said on X. “ must repudiate these despicable statements!”

“There is no room in American democracy for political violence,” Thompson
