So they get the House’s whole heart (good luck finding it), but most others get thoughts and prayers?
What about sensible Gun Control?
“But fuck poor people”, he added.
Mr. Speaker, have you ever tweeted about gun violence in your district?
House hearts, WH thoughts and prayers, everything’s under control.
Let’s hope all of the affected have access to top-quality medical care without being concerned about how to pay for it!
When’s the President’s press conference to address this serious matter? What time?
Oh there won’t be one? Just tweets and written statements?
Yeah.
Perhaps they should pre-emptively pray for the next set of victims, and reflect on what it means when it makes no difference at all… perhaps they’ll start thinking about non-faith-based lawmaking?
In mid tweet, Paul Ryan had to take a call from the NRA.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said the “hearts of the whole House” are with Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) after the congressman was shot at a congressional Republican baseball practice Wednesday morning.
But not, of course, with the 6,000+ Americans killed by guns so far this year.
They bothered to tweet, what more do you want? They’re laser focused on taking away our healthcare.
The one takeaway from this tragedy is the Robert Mueller investigation obviously must be shut down.
PP said in a statement that he and the vice president were monitoring developments closely.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragedy,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected.”
All that’s missing is Now Watch This Drive.
I wish a complete recovery for Scalise. I also hope that this experience produces a change in his outlook, which includes a dim and uncharitable view of women, the poor, the sick, and the sick poor. Sometimes events like this result in a change of heart in the victim(s). We can hope.
And 5 to 6 times that number wounded.
Ryan then added…let’s get cracking on that gun silencer bill that is before us, it now makes more sense than ever…
We should be focused on the real people responsible for this attack! Democrats or Muslims, or someone. We need to bomb (someone) now!
Somewhere there’s an Afghan wedding party with a drone’s targeting coordinates trained on it.
Undoubtedly we’ll be seeing lots of money now budgeted for every House member to have an armed security staff.
