Those posts were made before the full death toll was even released, with no information on why the shooter did what he did, where he got his guns from, and what possible actions could have prevented him from carrying out the attack. I would suggest that it’s important to identify a specific policy that would have stopped the shooting before trying to place blame on completely unrelated individuals. Pretending that Ted Cruz being against universal background checks, which would have stopped not a single mass shooting in recent memory, somehow makes him pro-child murder is grotesque.
As to the mention of abortion, claiming that Cruz cares about a fetus but not children being slaughtered, a fetus is a child. That Democrats believe now is the time, and Gallego was hardly the only one to use that talking point, to flaunt the fact that they want to kill children up until birth boggles my mind. What am I supposed to take away from that except that they only care about protecting kids when it’s politically convenient and fits into their worldview?
