my congresswoman was shot today

[PamNY]

On what planet is that relevant??

This planet. It's completely relevant in a discussion of whether political vitriol contributed to this crime (I don't personally think it did, but that's probably age).

Partisan finger-pointing (featuring plenty of "my side is being treated unfairly" whining) is inevitable and completely useless, but pointing out the bipartisan nature of vitriol is valid.
