GOP lawmaker accuses 'left-wing politicians' of fueling DC shooting in baseless tirade

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) blamed Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), whom he is running against for U.S. Senate, and other "left-wing politicians" after two members of the National Guard were shot in Washington, D.C., during a deployment to the city under orders from President Donald Trump.

"Look, this is something that happens whenever you have the left-wing politicians making comments like they are making," Carter told Fox News on Thursday.

When you have someone like [governor-elect of Virginia] Abigail Spanberger, who is saying let your rage fuel you."

The Coast Guard stationed a helicopter at Yaquina Bay, Ore., after a fishing boat capsized in 1985, killing three people because rescue aircraft were too far away to respond fast enough. When the Obama administration tried to move the helicopter to North Bend in 2014 local residents sued and Congress intervened to force the Coast Guard to provide ample notice and research to support any relocation of the helicopter — even for maintenance.

So, when rumors spread a few weeks ago that the helicopter was gone, many fishermen dismissed them, reports the New York Times, primarily because the very idea was ridiculous. Response times from the alternative landing site in North Bend can take up to an hour or longer.
