One of our congressmen got carjacked, had guns pointed at him, he could have been killed.

But because we don't have evidence that his assailants were MAGATS, it's kinda like, "Eh, that sucks. What's next?"

Except for one comment of despair, all the others have simply been pointing out the mistake in the BBC article.
