Cruz blames Dems for politicizing shootings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) accused Democrats on Thursday of seizing on mass shootings to push a political agenda, saying that calling for increased gun control after such tragedies is "not the right answer."

"The reaction of Democrats to any tragedy is to try to politicize it," Cruz said on "Fox & Friends." "So they immediately start calling that we've got to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. That's not the right answer."

The Texas Republican recalled travelling to Sutherland Springs, Texas after a deadly mass shooting at a church there last year.

"When I was at the hospital with the victims, with the victims' families, over and over again what they said to me in Texas – they said gun control is not the answer here," Cruz said.

10. He Jumped Ahead A Bit....

GOP instruction manual in case of mass shooting:

1. Send out "thoughts & prayers"
2. Close the door
3. Turn off the lights
4. Take the phone off the hook
5. Wait until everything blows over
6. Blame Democrats for "politicizing" tragedy

He just got things out of order.
