I believe Montag said it because of who he reportedly said it to, Chelsey Gentry-Tipton, who got in trouble for her disgusting remarks regarding the shooting.
Montag made the comments during a private meeting with the party's Black Caucus chairwoman, Chelsey Gentry-Tipton, and a friend of hers, Destin Madison.
"I'm glad he got shot," Montag said in the recording, in the middle of a heated exchange. "I'm not going to (expletive) say that in public."
Later, he added: "I wish he was (expletive) dead."
Madison then told Montag on the tape that he had secretly recorded his remarks and planned to publicize them.
A phone listing for Madison appeared to be a wrong number, and other attempts to reach him were not successful. Montag declined to answer questions when contacted by The Associated Press.
Gentry-Tipton faced criticism last week for saying online that it was funny to watch congressmen crying about the shooting on live television. Kleeb called on Gentry-Tipton to resign but could not fire her because she holds an elected position.
After her initial post on Facebook, Gentry-Tipson added: "The very people that push pro NRA legislation in efforts to pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life. Yeah, having a hard time feeling bad for them."
Later, in a separate posting, she said she didn't condone the shooting or find it funny.
Montag told the World-Herald he had visited Gentry-Tipton to console her during the fallout over her online posts and party leaders' response, but that she and Madison were trying to use the recording to blackmail him into posting a public statement of support for her. Madison and Gentry-Tipton did not respond to the allegation."
