Dem senator lists victims of gun violence during Trump's NRA speech

Source: MSN/The Hill

A Democratic senator criticized President Trump's decision to speak at the National Rifle Association (NRA) Leadership Forum on Friday in Atlanta with a series of tweets naming young victims of gun violence.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) accused Trump of trying to "celebrate right of criminals to own guns, to glorify weapons that kill" on Twitter during Trump's afternoon address to the NRA convention.

"Here's my advice," Murphy tweeted. "Turn off cable. Don't watch @realDonaldTrump's NRA speech. Instead, think about who we are fighting for."

Murphy went on to tweet photos and names of 11 people killed by gun violence, all of whom were under the age of 30.

some troll on the NRA payroll is working on an "exposé" to show that said victims are alive and living it up.

The worst part is, millions will parrot it.
