    Uvalde overwhelmingly voted Republican just after the school shooting. I don’t see this changing anything.

    We hear this every year, sadly Texans will still keep voting for the same shitty politicians who don’t care about them.

    Why is that Canadian Ted Cruz even taken seriously?

    He will literally do or say anything to stay in office looking at you Raphael Edward Cruz!

    Not sure why mentioning some small town with a shooting has to do with the remainder of story.

    Clown headlines for clown journalists for fake news is the current MO, i guess.

      A nearly four-minute video announcing his candidacy focused on the aftermath of the shooting and featured multiple family members of victims.

      Reading is fundamental.

          Honest question: do you actually, truly believe the nonsense you write? It doesn’t seem to have any basis in reality or context.

                  Yes, the Gestapo were known for their suggestions that people try a different web forum.

                  Solid criticism, 10/10.

      What’s fake about the headline? Do that words you use have any meaning whatsoever, or do you just parrot your orange god without any thought?

        Dems campaign against school violence and the GQP wears AR-15 pins right after school shootings, but sure, it’s the Dems being insensitive “clowns…”

          It’s only low class if you think school and mass shootings are not an issue in this country that needs to be addressed.

            I am sure a clown using a tragedy for political platform will fix the issue for all of us.

              The real tragedy is an entire political party refusing to do anything to solve the problem. And then saying shit like “How dare you talk about real events!”
