Brad Parscale hospitalized Sunday after his wife reported that he was armed and threatening to harm himself, authorities say.

, Brad Parscale, was hospitalized Sunday after his wife reported that he was armed and threatening to harm himself, authorities said.

Parscale, 44, had multiple guns when police officers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, arrived at his home, police spokeswoman Sgt. DeAnna Greenlaw said in a statement. Greenlaw said he was the only person home at the time. Police took Parscale to a local hospital under the Baker Act, Greenlaw said. The mental health law allows for involuntary and voluntary admittance.In a statement, Trump campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh said that Parscale “is a member of our family and we all love him. We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible.

Trump announced in July that he was replacing Parscale, who had been running the president's reelection campaign for more than two years, with deputy campaign manager Bill Stepien. The move came after Parscale said that millions of tickets had been sold for a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, earlier this month.

Sure

Why the fuck was he hospitalized and not jailed

Wife beater

So he’s under tremendous stress and he had a mental breakdown. Happens to 30% of people have compassion.

It’s amazing not one gun pulled out. No one choked out or tasered. Oh. Sorry forgot he is white so the rules are a little different. BlackLivesMatter

DO YEA HEAR THAT TICK TOK

Such a shame when someone gets this far down. I hope he gets good treatment

Dam, Trump destroys another one, poor guy

You forgot to say after he harmed his wife

trump family of grifters....

Why is NBC not using the pictures of this garbage MAGAt in his shorts holding a beer all sloppy AF

He threatened to harm his wife. After he beat her up. Classic MAGAt coward. Big man with his guns, has to beat in a woman to feel powerful.

Anything to do with this?

Hmmm...looks like this mofo is trying to set himself up for an insanity plea. I am sure the reasons why he will need to will surface very very soon. He was sane enough to skim donor money and spend it on houses, cars and ho’s...he will be fit enough to stand trial

He was beating his wife. We knew he was a horrible person.

Seems like every one of Trump's team will either end up in prison or in a psychiatric ward.

Good, fuck him

.......soooooo, let him? 🤷‍♂️

His conscience is catching up to him.

Wishing him well.

BS! Parscale's spoon just wasn't long enough while slurping at the devil's table. TheArtOfTheDealWithTrump

Thoughts and prayers😂

amandablount2

Looks like Brad's recent history of corruption, treason, and treachery is catching up to him!

And they blame it on the Dems and the things they say. Double standard, Trump can say whatever the hell he wants to and about anyone but this is the Dems fault! hahaha

Not the full story. Police reports said he was threatening (and hurting) her. The wife.

Parscale has a wife! So what was Hope Hicks ?

Only the best people.

Can’t be subpoenaed from mental hospital-

Anything to do with this

At least put all the dirt you know down on paper before you off yourself. Do one good thing for your country. Coward.

They Aryian isn’t as tough as he pretends to be.

Trump might have called Brad to stir up some fake news to take some heat away from WH. Trump: Take one for the team Brad

🤷🏼‍♂️

Truly sad.

Truth will kill them all

Stress of knowing that he'll be facing criminal charges soon, or effort to set up some type of mental health defense for criminal charges?

Trump ditched Manafort as soon as the dirty work was done. It’s a pattern.

Distraction Alert !

Poor Brad. He's under INVESTIGATION. And they found real damning evidence against him

I pray he gets the help he needs. I also pray he unloads his burdens to save himself and his family from anymore heartache. But I especially pray that someone is protecting him while he’s getting help because I think unloading his burdens will bring a lot of people down, and fast

only the best people...

Brad Prascale is the mastermind behind the idea of creating and managing bots and troll accounts in the social media platforms. I wish him ill. I wish him gone.

He knows he is guilty of money laundering OR he will be the fall guy for it. If you lay down with Trump Dogs, you get up with Trump Fleas.

Rosie_wearamask I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. He’s a big boy and made is own decisions. Defrauded a lot of people along the way.

Perhaps he knows something that we are all going to find out about soon.

Sounds like someone doesn’t want to go to prison.

Everyone in Trump’s circle eventually gets destroyed.

That’s maga.

Interesting timing with the release of Trump’s tax fraud and we all know he stole from the campaign. I don’t wish harm to anyone suffering mental illness and take it seriously, but this guy is playing us again.

Brad should be drug tested immediately

Will he reach the same fate as Jeffrey Epstein

I think they need to provide an armed guard and do some blood tests if he starts acting weirder.

Have to wonder if this attempt is somehow related to the NYTs article on mr trump

Parscale

He's probably ruined by drug abuse. Hope his Republican colleagues support him.

Pretty sure its illegal and immoral to harass someone's mental health issue. Good luck with the lawsuit

I’m sure it has nothing to do with being caught laundering Russian money

This was hours after the news about Trump's tax returns came out. Connection?

My thoughts on this: he knows something, maybe campaign financing issues and does not want to get caught. Where is mouthpiece Ronna McDaniel today?

Something tells me this is a media play to distract from the tax and debt issue his master Trump is facing today.

Thoughts & Prayers

Do you suppose those Made in China MAGA hats are leaching something into the brains of the Trump cult?

The MAGA Koolaid high wore off.

Parscale... don’t do it... take your mind off of it all and book every cable news show... and tell us about little known facts on your former boss...

What we all seen from Donald Trump is lies and evilness!

MikeStuchbery_ Awwww poor little Nazi....

Small detail: an armed, unstable man wasn’t shot by the police.

Feign insanity, reduce jailtime.

Working or dealing with Trump doesn't seem to be a very healthy place to work. How many more are going to prison or the psychiatric hospital? As his lawyer once said, you cross the line there's no turning back. Trump will bring you down to his level and you'll pay the price.

His bosses boss is looking for his money

People are going to start bailing on Trump at an alarming rate when they find out he can't pay them. 25thAmendmentNow SAVE yourself GOP VP

MikeStuchbery_ Distraction

MikeStuchbery_ Sending thoughts and prayers.

Really?

Why didn’t they just shoot him 🤔🤔

You reap what you sow. Scumbag grifters know the grift is ending and jail awaits so he's angling for an insanity defense. TrumpCrimeSyndicate LockThemAllUp

I'm sure the authorities will make sure he no longer has access to firearms to avoid any potential problems in the near future. Oh, Florida. Never mind. He has his rights. 🧐

New headline: 😏 Florida man thinks he might get pinched for embezzlement, fakes suicide attempt.

No wonder Jr is all coked up. Everything Trump touches dies

ETTD

'Death before dishonor'.

Parscale and Trump Taxes are connected events.

Watch how his cronies clean up this story. First they’ll say fake news. Then they’ll say he was exercising his constitutional rights to bear arms.

It is what it is......

Sad you would publish this.

Very, very sad on a human level. Brad made some horrible choices along the way that put him in this situation. Thoughts and prayers.

greenmitty

Wow, I just knew Trump had a lasting effect on his paid to order staff, is this what happens when the wake up from thier stupper?

Who is threatening him?

Breakdown? Wouldn't surprise me. But wouldn't it be a slick way to get off the Trump Wreck Train? Some might even feel sorry for him.

I hope they take away his guns, permanently.

These are the things that Happen to people that Worship the Paper $, Capputo was Seeing Shadows on the Walls in his Home, & Since been Diagnosed with Cancer, They Say. Thoughts & Prayers to all of them, Donny Jr.s Tweets seem like he’s Suffering from the Same Symptoms as Above.

We're used to all these politically motivated investigative journalism. Biased about Trump,WHY? So, there's never anything about Biden folks?Very funny!We vote Trump not because he's God or perfect.He's real, independent, not subject to the cabals.Say No to Political Theatrics.

Guilty conscience?

I guess she didn't want to play Eva Braun anymore

Maybe 🤔 Brad is the one who leak the Trump Tax Return . Haha 😂

It was never going to end well for this guy, was it?

That's a beautiful story

MikeStuchbery_ They're coming to take him away ha ha

MikeStuchbery_ Good job he was not a black female paramedic or the police would have shot first and asked questions after the body bag had been removed. White guy with guns making threats and unsurprisingly he survives!

He needs to detoxify from the Trump disease. I'm sorry to hear it got that bad for him, but maybe now he'll understand the affect Trump has had on the rest of us for the last four years...

The cost of working for Trump. Brad’s finding out what Trump means when he puts you on the back burner. Sad. Trump doesn’t care. Hope Brad gets some help.

Suicide (by teens or those at risk from diagnosed depression) I DO NOT take lightly. That said, Stock market crashes of 1929 and 2008 come to mind. His well has dried up, lost favor and the truth is coming out. 👉NO PITY FOR HIM. I pity family, dependents his actions have hurt.

WiserMadam Man's obviously in some pain. I feel bad for him.🙏

I hope he’s gets good treatment and is okay. tRump could seriously wreck a person.

Everything Donald Trump touches .......

I hope he's okay

This is Don Jr in about a month.

TimMurtaugh Parscale is under investigation for committing fraud for realDonaldTrump's campaign. You blamed Democrats for the suicide attempt because of the investigation. Why would Parscale barricade himself and threaten suicide if he wasn't complicit in theft and fraud?

It’s official. Working for trump will drive u mental.

This is a total chess move.... the WH already put out a PR saying this was the Dems fault for being mean to him. Trying to get sympathy, I guess.

So sorry to hear. It must be very stressful. Love and kindness to the family.

Self-harm is never funny or something to laugh about.

The guy always looked like a bat shit crazy thug to me. TrumpCrimeSyndicate TrumpCrimeFamily_LockThemAllUp

Another scam, I’m sure.

The circus just keeps getting sadder and sadder...

Another radicalized right wing supremacist bigots bites-the-dust. Let's take a moment of silence..... So I can scream; 😲 OMG 😲...!

He’s guilty of theft of campaign funds and money laundering. Prison awaits.

Well... too many skeletons from the work with trump I guess...

Must be an evangelical family

okay.

Why did they stop him? I mean didn't 😳🤔🤨

Beard removal is standard procedure at most rehab facilities. Steve Bannon can advise him.

see ... being white guy with guns is not as dangerous as being black woman and sleeping at home ... no risk being shot by cops

This is a calculated play.

Hope he is ok

Little stress?! For what? Nothing illegal to hide ..🤣🤣

Prayers he will stay safe and his family stays safe very sad 😢

MAGAT

Sorry he and family have to go thru this. Now wonder if because of tRump taxes he sees no way out. No pardon for him.

Get well. MentalHealthAwareness

That’s very sad hope he gets better

Hmmm bravo and congratulations to the wife for being so proactive by helping to prevent her husband from wasting his precious life which could have had devastating consequences on the other family members.The-husband could have been experiencing disturbing psychological hiccups

Did the cops burst in firing their guns,oh wait hes white sorry

If he was black the cops would’ve killed him.

Good thing he’s white. He’s still alive and receiving medical help.

Rumor has it he spent over 20 minutes watching .

They know the end is near, it's why Don Jr is high as fuck ever time he's on tv lately

Bombshell:

Someone finally show him what happens to the Death Star?

ETTD

he was part of trump’s scam problem.

Trump virus: it provoques madness!

Is he ok

Does that mean Donny jr GF & Eric’s wife don’t receive there 18,000$ monthly check in October?

What’s eating at ya, BRAD! Any chance you know some things that you know you need to get out into the open, but you’re afraid of ending up like Jeff Epstein

I’m sure he’ll say he never met the man and doesn’t know him.

Interesting timing.... connected to trump tax fraud?

Think of how toxic Donald Trump is to personal relationships. He has devastated people around him, just by being Donald J. Trump. In his own family and those that serve his family. And I use term serve as an enrichment of themselves while serving an evil man with evil policies.

Caputo n now Pascale. What do they know or what have they done that drives them to mental health breakdowns? Guilt? The walls closing in on them? Can't sustain the lies? Possiblity of getting exposed?

If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or loved one, help is available. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 [TALK] for free confidential emotional support 24 hours a day. Even if it feels like it, you are not alone.

Is he gonna get Hilary’d....

Drip. Drip. There’s *a lot* more to come. Count on it.

This happens the same day the Mandarin Morons tax returns become public? I'm not buying it. Ivanka could be going down for tax evasion and her 'husband' Jared just deleted ALL his tweets from Twitter. I bet it's a nightmare in the WH tonight!

b0yle In glad they were able to get him help in time.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

God, trumpy destroys everything and everyone he touches.

He is suffering the consequences of his actions.

🙏🏻🙏🏻

IAmSophiaNelson

Unrelentless attacks from the left drove him to this. Harassment just one of the many services they offer along with rioting and looting.

Goebbels.

THIS IS REALLY SAD. I FEEL FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

The story about lying with a dog with fleas is right, then?

They get caught & want the easy way out

He knows too much! He spent too much

shouldn’t this be private

IAmSophiaNelson

This is so exciting! Justice is coming.

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN… Elect Someone Who Pays Their Taxes!

Some demented people here. Geez.

Anyone else hate that the news reports stuff like this?

Lying for Trump can have serious health consequences.

Really conflicted on how to feel about this story.

realDonaldTrump ruins another subordinate and family.

Cults members will always go out with a bang

Bullshit

Not a fan but truly hope he gets the help he needs. see what happens when you sell your soul to Trump

Somebody sounds nervous.

Paranoia is a mean destroyer. Amphetamine psychosis?!!

Sounds like he got a hold of some strong gunga

One Billion dollars in campaign donations. Much of it unaccounted. He knows too much.

Did Brad release The Taxes?

All People in the white house should resign now.

He knows the Trump campaign is a criminal enterprise and he’s going down

Goood way to not testify

No it’s not sad. You make a deal with the devil, you get what comes with that.

Sad for his family.

Why does some or other kind of misfortune befall everyone who assist Trump?

It feels really gross that YOU are covering this story.

as if working for the campaign wasn't the first sign of mental health issues.

isn't this the 2nd Trump employee in a week to go crazy? Is it the end?

He is an awful human being. While I don't wish him dead, I dont exactly feel bad.

Too bad he didn’t finish the job. Guess he knows way more awful stuff about his boy is about to come to light 😂😂
