In a now-deleted tweet, the one-term Illinois congressman declared “war” on the president after five police officers were killed and at least six others injured by snipers who were at elevated positions. (RELATED: Heartbreaking News About The Slain Dallas Police Officer…)
“This is now war,” Walsh tweeted. “Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you.”

Walsh — now a radio host — tweeted several more times about the shooting.
I wasn’t calling for violence, against Obama or anyone. Obama’s words & BLM’s deeds have gotten cops killed. Time for us to defend our cops.

Dallas Police just said it was a pissed off guy who acted alone. He wanted to kill whites & white police officers.
Way to go Obama & #BLM.

Obama’s response to Dallas should be: “America, respect our Police. They keep us safe. Don’t ever resist arrest. Stop this war on our Cops.”

When so called “leaders” constantly hate on Cops, eventually thugs on the street will go after Cops.
That was Dallas last night. An ambush.

Our cops work their ass off to protect our inner cities. They deserve respect and help. Not hate and resistance.

10 cops shot.
This is on Obama.

4 dead.
Obama stoked the flame.
BLM did this.
Cops are dying.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) July 8, 2016
BLM should be categorized as a hate group.

“Obama says cops are racist so 2 uneducated black thugs shoot 10 Dallas cops,” Walsh said.
