<p>A prominent House Democrat&#8217;s staffer who posted to social media about the gunman needing &#8220;shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time&#8221; — after former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> survived an assassination attempt — is out of the job.</p>
<p>Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bennie-thompson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bennie Thompson</a> (D-MS), who served as chairman of the now-defunct January 6 Committee, confirmed on Sunday the ouster of the aide — field director Jacqueline Marsaw — as the congressman faced mounting calls to fire her over the comment.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was made aware of a post made by a staff member and she is no longer in my employment,&#8221; Thompson said, <a href="https://x.com/aishahhasnie/status/1812536643917672475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Fox News</a>.</p>
<p>In the attack at Trump&#8217;s campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, the former president was shot in the ear, one bystander was killed, and two other attendees were seriously injured.</p>
<p>The Secret Service said its personnel &#8220;neutralized&#8221; the shooter, who was seen on a rooftop approximately 150 yards away from the stage where Trump had been speaking.</p>
<p>Afterwards, Marsaw posted to Facebook, &#8220;I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops that wasn’t me talking.&#8221;</p>
<p>The post was deleted, but not before a screenshot was taken and shared to social media. The <a href="https://x.com/MSGOP/status/1812297287843876973" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mississippi GOP</a> and others soon began calling for Marsaw&#8217;s employment to be terminated.</p>

<p>The Natchez Democrat <a href="https://www.natchezdemocrat.com/2024/07/13/natchez-womans-social-media-post-on-trump-shooting-draws-national-criticism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Marsaw said she took down the post following a request from a manager on Thompson&#8217;s staff.</p>
<p>&#8220;I got overwhelmed in the moment,&#8221; Marsaw said. &#8220;I am a diehard Democrat.&#8221;</p>
<p>The local news outlet in Mississippi also pointed out Marsaw &#8220;said her post was meant for its comic value and not to be taken seriously.&#8221;</p>
<p>Congressman Thompson himself posted to X a <a href="https://x.com/BennieGThompson/status/1812275735039730041" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that denounced political violence and voiced relief that Trump had survived the attack.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no room in American democracy for political violence. I am grateful for law enforcement’s fast response to this incident,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I am glad the former President is safe, and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thompson is also facing blowback for legislation he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-january-6-panel-chair-unveils-bill-that-could-strip-trump-of-secret-service-protection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> in April that could strip Trump or anyone else of Secret Service protection after being convicted of a felony.</p>
<p>In May, a jury <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/verdict-trump-found-guilty-on-all-charges-in-hush-money-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> Trump on dozens of felony counts in a New York hush-money case. Sentencing has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-approves-delay-for-trump-sentencing-after-supreme-court-immunity-ruling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">postponed</a> until at least September as Trump seeks to get the <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-asks-judge-toss-hush-money-conviction-dismiss/story?id=111807026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conviction thrown out</a>.</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jul/13/secret-service-faces-questions-after-donald-trump-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> by The Washington Times, Thompson insisted his bill &#8220;would not have affected the Secret Service’s presence&#8221; during the shooting at the Pennsylvania rally and will only apply to Trump if he is sentenced to prison and in the custody of another law enforcement agency.</p>
