mass shooting at an Allen, Texas, shopping mall.During the latest episode of “Inside With Jen Psaki” on MSNBC, the former White House press secretary honed in on the idea of politicizing tragedy.
But, she noted that those who criticize people for politicizing tragedy — which has included Cruz, Abbott and their Republican colleagues just about every time — are the ones who are actually doing so.In light of the most recent mass shooting in Texas, Psaki first pulled up a clip of Abbott speaking to an NRA convention held in Texas last year, not long after the horrific shooting in Uvalde that killed 19 children and two adults.
Much like he usually does, Abbott claimed that there are plenty of gun restrictions already in effect that “have not stopped madmen from carrying out evil acts,” so he doesn’t believe further restrictions would help.“Clearly, Governor Abbott felt pretty good about the gun laws in his state at that time, and boy has he continued to make the NRA proud,” Psaki said. “Texas doesn’t require a person to pass a criminal background check before buying a gun from an unlicensed seller.
Texas does not require you to obtain a license before carrying a handgun in public.”She then turned her ire to Abbott’s congressional colleagues, calling out senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, “not to be outdone,” for their respective responses to the repeated mass shootings in this country.
