Florida Republicans Offers Of Prayers Invite Accusations Of Hypocrisy

[Hermit-The-Prog]

Florida Republicans Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott were swift to condemn the horrific school shooting in their state on Wednesday afternoon, offering prayers after a gunman killed at least 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Scott called for “thoughts and prayers” as news of the shooting emerged, and Rubio sent off a tweet calling the shooting an event “you pray never comes.”

But both men have a history of coziness with gun advocates, receiving “A+” ratings and endorsements from the National Rifle Association ahead of their respective elections in 2014 and 2016. The distinction is reserved “for legislators who have excellent voting records on Second Amendment issues and who have vigorously fought to promote and defend the right to keep and bear arms.”

[...]

Critics were quick to remind the lawmakers of their track records of voting against gun restrictions that could help prevent tragedies like the one in Parkland.

1. This shows

After the 18th shooting this year the president is a complete failure, and the gop enabling this president , or do anything are failures too, and should be removed from office for allowing this to continue. Anyone can talk, which these people do often, its actions they refuse to do stopping or slowing this down from happening again. Allowing this to still happen is a failure on us for allowing them to stay in office. trump and rubio, and others in the gop (liars), have nothing but more cheap talk and excuses, then will try to blame others, again. Why is this still being allowed to continue. Vote!

For these elected creeps..But, for some parents, today is TOO LATE already.
