Steve King: Violence in America is 'coming from the Left'

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, on Wednesday blamed violence from "the Left" for the baseball practice shooting in Alexandria, Virginia.

"America has been divided," King said at the scene of the crime Wednesday morning, according to the Washington Post. "And the center of America is disappearing, and the violence is appearing in the streets, and it's coming from the Left."

Republican lawmakers said Hodgkinson asked whether Republicans or Democrats were practicing on the field early Wednesday morning, and opened fire a few minutes after being told they were Republicans.
