A former congressman took to Twitter late Thursday to tell President Obama “this is now war” following two snipers shooting nearly a dozen police officers in Dallas, Texas.
Joe Walsh, who had represented the 8th District of Illinois, posted more than a dozen messages on Twitter bashing Obama’s leadership, which he said has contributed to Thursday night’s mass shooting.
“3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you,” Walsh wrote.
The congressman-turned-talk radio host later took down one of his tweets.

Obama says Cops are racist so 2 uneducated black thugs shoot 10 Dallas Cops tonight, killing 4.
Wake up silent majority. Stand w our Cops.
