Twitter users jumped to denounce a tweet expressing solidarity with Republicans in light of the Wednesday attack on a congressional baseball practice that left multiple people on the field injured.
Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor, tweeted out a message of support after reported gunman James T. Hodgkinson shot House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and other staffers at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Congressional Baseball Shooter Dies At Hospital)
“We are #AllRepublicansToday. So incredibly sad,” Lessig wrote.

Various activists and leaders were quick to renounce the idea of being linked with Republicans, declaring “no we aren’t” in subsequent re-tweets of Lessig’s message.

Are republicans still collaborators in a foreign coup against our democracy? Yes?

Remember that I'm not a Republican? For sure. I'll remember every day that I am not one of the group of people trying to erode my rights.

All people? Yes. All Americans? Sure. Lifting up members of Congress in our hearts? Yes, if that’s one’s thing.
All Republicans? Naw.
