Democratic lawmaker Rep. Seth Moulton from Massachusetts said he would not be participating in the moment of silence on the House floor for the innocent Americans killed in the mass shooting in Las Vegas Monday.
As previously reported, a crazed shooter slaughtered over 50 people Sunday night at a Las Vegas country western concert in a mass shooting.
Another 400 people were injured.
The Las Vegas shooter was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock from Mesquite, Nevada.
Instead of saying a prayer for the victims with the leaders of our country, the Dem lawmaker argued that Congress should instead be taking action on more gun control.
This is the left.
Moulton tweeted, “As after #Orlando, I will NOT be joining my colleagues in a moment of silence on the House Floor that just becomes an excuse for inaction.”
Now is not a moment for silence; it’s a time for action.”
Moulton isn’t the only Democrat screaming about the NRA and more gun control.
Democrat Hillary Clinton wasted no time politicizing the terrorist attack and immediately went after the NRA in response to the mass shooting.
FOX News analyst Chris Stirewalt called Hillary Clinton a “blight on her party” who “won’t go away… Nothing will stop her.”
Hillary tweeted, “The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”
“Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.”
Dem Senator from MA Ed Markey also called for more gun control and blamed the GOP following the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Did it for Michael Jackson.
Machine guns are already illegal.
In it for their political agendas.
These people need to be jailed for sedition !
If you do not respect our noble dead you will have no respect for the Republic. End !
” Our grief”
From Hillary???
Good grief...
Because they know no gun control law will ever pass or even pass judicial smell test.
We will find out the coward murderer was a rat liberal progressive
Geez! This person needs to be taken to the woodshed and taught that lessen his/her mommy or daddy neglected to do then if they don’t straight up and fly right; there’s a tree out there just waiting for a rope.
Just sayin’!!!
STFU about gun control. It’s not just a non starter; it’s a never starter so just STFU about it leftists.
If you can’t manage that then refer back to the tree idea.
“Because they know no gun control law will ever pass or even pass judicial smell test.”
Never say never. When the outcry becomes loud enough even the republicans will cave.
The scu&bags are just itching to remove the 2nd Amendment.
IMHO
They are no longer an American party.
Not under Trump.
Will he bring a kazoo?
When the truth comes out he’ll be mourning that the Democrats lost one voter (the shooter).
The Left is itching to remove the entire Constitution.
But they keep losing every time they try.
Wonder what they really thought after 9-11. (We had a Republican pres back then.)
Yep, they've already unified their message less than 24 hours after this incident. How many wobbly GOP types will cave in this time around?
