Lawrence: GOP Position Is Kids Have To Die Because The Constitution Says So

- Опубликовано: 24 май 2022
- Texas Democratic candidate for Governor Beto O’Rourke interrupted a press conference in Uvalde, Texas, being chaired by his political rival, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, telling Abbott the Uvalde shooting was “totally predictable.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell covers that and how the Republican solution to school shootings didn't work in Uvalde, Texas.

Don't forget the people who blame this on mental health are the same ones voting against funding that would go towards metal health.
Oh no no! Jesus wouldn't want is spending money on mental health! That's communism! Republican Jesus would rather watch kids die
::DING::
🎯🎯🎯
Not true in any way.
Exactly!!
So... children's lives are sacred, *_until they are born._*
...and then they're expendable because money from special interests speaks louder than anyone else in the room.
republikkkans need to stop with the _doublespeak._
Dems don't keer about unborn babies. The babies are defencesless but the blood thristy Dems don;t keer. Thay rip tha baby out and harvest its organs. Sickos is what I say about Dems.
Exactly! The hypocrisy is astounding.
@@Crossmauz2.0 you are so right but they are not they'll just try to sweep it under the rug.
You are so right they will bomb an abortion clinic and shoot doctors who perform them but I've never seen them bomb a gun store or shoot a gun store owner.
Imagine being told to fight every instinct in your body as a parent to just go inside and save your child but you have cops arresting you for trying to do their job… that they’ve completely failed at.
I agree well said the guilt will be hard to knowing you may have made a difference, like the mosque where a man hit him with a chair and the perpetrator ended up tied up before the cops got, there if I understood correctly..
Normally, I would say the police did the right thing. Having a bunch of distraught parents running around in an active shooter scene is a recipe for disaster. But that assumes that the professionals are going to do their job.
Police would not want to mistake a parent getting their child, as the murderer, because police can be so gun happy. So they take another cruel line, preventing the parent going to their frightened child in serous danger. It is better to control the sale of guns, but that would affect the gun manufactures profits....... Profits are more important in America, than the lives of American children. Will the GOP ever get tired of being called stupid?
@@theodoresweger4948 10 years ago a nut went into the school. Went into a room with a teachers conference going on. In a strugle they got the gun away, and threw it out in the hall where the students were. Not the brightest thing to do with a gun. But it gets better. Then they threw the gunman out the door, and barricadded it. so gunman is out in hall with her gun AND the students.
What instinct would you be fighting to save your child?
You have to fight your instinct to go into an abortion clinic, not a gun fight.
Dont believe me, get between a momma and her cub and watch what happens to you.
No one wants to die. I get it. But the officers were cowards. The politicians are greedy and cowardly. America is a freaking mess 🤦🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️😟😕🥺🥺🥺🥺😢
absolutely. We don't need gun control. We need mental health reform. There are parts of the country where kids need to learn to use a gun. Taking that away, gives them a death sentence.
@@Lisa-hj8fh No - you need gun control.
We have the same mental health issues in different countries.... you know how many of their elementary schools get shot up and their kids murdered?
Zero. Zilch. Nothing
Know why? Gun control.
A very big mess
The DSA..Divided States of America is a mess and I don't travel there as a Canadian. There are safer countries to visit. I felt sickened when those precious children were killed. Now the world sees the coverups, and not stricter gun laws...who needs a high-powered assault rifle? Except the military. Every country had problems with their government, but sorry, the U.S. is f****kd. Politicians get big $$$ there for their campaigning and so big companies contribute so then they have to keep them happy by slacking the laws.there dhoukd be a $ limit as we have here..so no politician is "bought off" I could go on but thx for letting me rant. Thoughts and many prayers 🙏 to the families and community of this tragidy .
reminds you of Jan 6 and pelosi fleeing the scene from a guy waiving an american flag taking a selfie. Jsut as she herself did a few years earlier. Well wihtout the flag.
If they don't want this to be political than why was everyone one the stage a politician.
...and why are all those politicians going to the NRA convention this weekend to celebrate the sanctity of guns?
BOOM!
good 👁 👍💯
@@thegreatselkie6009 Amen, Huge Boom. 💯
Hi sane brother. That comment would be like bases loaded and you hot a home run.
👏
They're leaving out the fact that there were 42 armed cops there just standing outside for 30 minutes because they couldn't find the keys to the building.
Yet, cops will break down a door and bust someone with an ounce of weed.
🎯🎯🎯
They feel their only duty is to go home safe after every shift.
Its because they're cowards
Goof thing it's legal now in Zoo Jersey........
Cops are only brave when they have the upper hand. That is a trademark of all cops and all fascists.
The inconsolable mother of one of the children who were killed said that :” I did a terrible mistake, I left my girl at school “,, what a sad state we are in if we can’t trust in the safety of our kids schools, if we have to fear that when we drop them off at school we might never talk to them or see them again
There was an awards ceremony earlier that day and some of the parents attended. I’d hate to think that her child asked to leave school early and the mother said no.
So sad but so true
@@fefelarue2948 terrible ....but true
If you have to fear schools. The World is watching the slaughter of children in schools and there is little reaction or outrage. Michael Moore made a film about mass murder in schools. It never ends, it will never end. We wait for the next slaughter to see if there will be gun reform. But no the NRA are more important than children and that is why there is no mourning for these babies, life goes on, guns go on. I would be gone and never look back.
@@fefelarue2948 it’s horrible that this mother will probably ask herself that question for the rest of her life, it’s not fair to have to carry the burden after someone took your child from you in such a senseless and violent way. Parents are required to send their kids to school but the law failed them because of gun advocates who will fight against any life saving safety regulations, it’s not that mothers fault but that of those “responsible gun owners “ who insist that everyone has the right to go around with loaded weapons
As an Aussie it's sad to see the state America has gotten themselves into with their gun laws or lack thereof. I don't know what could be done at this point, the battle is huge! Hopefully something can be done so no more schoolchildren have to die mercilessly by the hands of an selfish evil loser who has no business having a gun in their hands of any kind!
Guns laws are in place to prevent government corruption….. it would be more dangerous not to have guns.
@@TestTest-ei4gi Gun laws to prevent government corruption? Man that sounds bad what is going on over there?
Part of it is the amount of money involved in politics over there. The NRA donated millions of dollars to campaigns. Limit the donations, limit the corruption. Also make high capacity guns illegal like Aussie and NZ have. But they won’t, because money and power is more important than their citizens lives. They show it everyday by their inaction and thoughts and prayers. Shaking my head as a Kiwi.
Well, Governor Abbottoir disagrees. He thinks ANYONE who has no registered mental-health issues and can fork over the money should be able to buy as many military-grade killing machines as they please, at any time, at any age.
I think it is fair to say, the 'NRA has not done America any favours'.
Ban books, ban abortions, ban learning about slavery... NOTHING about bans on guns
Your not getting my gun
Ban teaching 3 year olds capital race theory and hate. Dems are stupid
Because only guns (their manufacturers and lovers) write checks.
@@Curtis69213 but your uetrus the government can have.
So right They are a shameful party 🎈
As a lifelong Houstonian it sickens me to know that Governor Abbott was more concerned about keeping masks out of school than guns.
I hope my fellow Texans will finally say enough is enough and vote these gun lobbying pandering Republicans out of office.
What? Schools are federally funded gun free zones. Danger zones. Unconstitutionally
AMEN !
Masks don't work bro... Science
Of course they won’t. It’s also totally predictable. People are grossly apathetic. That’s why our country is doomed.
Vote Abbott and Paxton out of office in November 2022
I still don't get why the GOP is so pro life in regard to abortion. Yet they don't believe in healthcare or gun control...
Easy: the unborn never demand anything, they don't ask for money or anything else.
After they are born, they demand attention and help. Then the support stops.
I'm amazed that you are the first to mention this gross hypocrisy. Unborn life is sacred but living children can be shot any old time
Because that is how they get votes. Their base is religious, they don't like abortion (unless they need to get one), so the politiicians get easy votes by being anti abortion (unless their daughter or mistress needs one). Funny, their religious base is also very pro gun. So, keep that in mind, guns are a religion, hard to talk people out of a religion.
@@susella646 have you ever had a child? They are extremely expensive.
@@mistymarick2054 So? Then a little help is welcome, like we get it here in Europe.
But GOP politicians are only pro-life when it costs them nothing. Talk is cheap.
The politicians that have keep this an issue. Never want this turned back on them. So so so sick of them. 🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
Stop talking about it and do something run for office then Maybe you can pass legislation and make a difference.
@@kencramer3129 why dont you? you do something. stop responding to people for your own ego and just do it
The language from the mayor...disgusting absolutely disgusting.
You’re a sick individual if you think talking about gun laws less than 24 hours after 19 small kids were murdered is appropriate.
It's inbred belligerence. One of two pandemics we've been subjected to the past couple of years!
It sounded like a scene out of “Dukes of Hazard”.
I figure this will be the mayor's last term. Especially with his heartless comments.

Thank god someone understands what is happening. These are coordinated attacks happening one after the other on purpose. MSM is attempting to pass it off as if these attacks are happening independently of each other just so people willfully give up their rights.

These politicians have the blood of all those innocent children and 2 teachers on their hands!😡! My heart is broken for the parents of the children and families of the teachers who lost their lives.😢. My thoughts and prayers are with them.🙏
O'Rourke spoke the truth and all they could do was swear and insult him.
Go on ya Beto, Shame on you Abbott and company.
VOTE THEM OUT.
Watching from Britain, those of you who choose to keep these people in power share responsibility.
Same from Canada. In fact, just yesterday in Toronto 4 schools were locked down on news of a gunman being reported in the area near them. He was confronted by police and killed before he could find a target. Despite strict gun laws here, there still is a problem with illegal firearms, nevertheless mass shootings in schools are an almost unheard occurrence here.
Hear hear!
you are 100% rite!!!!!!!
I can't just comprehend how Americans will rather see children shot than loose their guns.. how do u justify 2nd amendment where owning guns doesn't stop horrors like this? Can't just comprehend..
@@nwabobo You can't justify it. The people are total idiots, liars, and conmen.
MSNBC please preach. I'm republican but I stand for these changes. This country needs to change and get better.
Thank you for keeping this topic in the public eye and not let it become an issue of thoughts and prayers.
In my book, the children's right to attend school without fear and in a safe, comfortable environment is more important than anyone's right to own weapons. Attending school should not be a roulette wheel with a death sentence attached.
Well your book means nothing. Accept it. I agree with you 100% . Im just more awakened. Govt dont care about anyone but themselves.
Not just schools, supermarkets, churches, movie theaters, clubs, etc.
Not just a death sentence, unspeakable pain and gruesome horror, they lived and died a horror movie, courtesy of Texas gun laws
@@azukil2325 just horrible....i cried and cried....
@@azukil2325 ,
That is not true ! It by the courtesy of the PERSON that pulled the trigger ! For example , what would you say if he had gone into the school and chopped down some kids with a machete?
Would you then blame it on Texas knife laws ? I blame it on the Liberal indoctrination that has taught him that human life has no value. For example 90,000,000 ( 90 MILLION ) babies killed in the womb with Democrat encouragement and support ! THAT is how much Democrats value children. And that is what the shooter has learned from the Democrat indoctrinations.
GOP stance on value of life is incredible. Unborn children valued over children alive.
The GOP should have no difficulty seeing the embryo for what it is… an undocumented illegal alien invading the sovereign borders of pregnant and vulnerable woman who should hold every right to stand her ground and deport that perceived threat to her well being.
You have a glitch in your statement.
The unborn are also alive , just not as children. A fetus is only the potential
Of a human being. What is incredible is
How this type of gun crime continues, with nothing done to change course.

@Solstice of Snow No they don't! That's a lie! Pro-life is actually pro-adoption industry and pro-slavery! Those unborn children will be future commodities and future property, nothing more! Sad! ... and children, today, are nothing but sacrificial offerings to the NRA god!
O’Rourke is right. This isn’t a “political issue” and, he wasn’t “out of line” at all! It’s a safety issue, a crime issue, a mental health issue, a human issue, a societal health issue, a gun security issue, and a human health & safety crisis. Federal & state government officials are supposed to be making it possible for our citizens to go about our lives peacefully, and safely. United States government officials & state government officials have consistently failed at this.
He certainly was right! And sometimes you have to make a point right where you and they are at the time!
There are more guns than people in this country. If teachers were armed and trained on defense, this could have been prevented.
No, he was wrong.
1. He was a vulture standing on the bodies of the dead children and metaphorically eating them to advance his own political career (he only is doing this because he wants to run for governor), trying to demand that the government should violate the right to keep and bear arms (which is used to defend innocent people all the time) and decreeing anyone who does not submit to his demands is evil. That is cold-hearted Machiavellian appeals to emotion there.
2. He was out of line for interrupting an ongoing press conference/release where people were already talking. He was violating their right to speak out by interrupting them.
3. As the Left themselves said, "The personal is political". Meaning to them, *EVERYTHING* is a political issue. So Leftists cannot hide behind the "it isn't a Political Issue"! malarkey when they have been pushing it this whole time.

As a non-American, this is insane. How can America be one of the most powerful country in the world AND have third world country numbers when it comes to education, gun violence, prison, police violence and health care? It just blows my mind.

Lawrence, you make me feel proud about reporting. Thank you for being concise. Thank you for avoiding sensationalism.
There’s no reason an 18 year old boy should be able to legally purchase any firearms. We need to raise the age to 21, for all firearms, psychological evaluation before getting a green light to purchase any firearms. In addition, they should be required to have structured, comprehensive firearms training. Also why do Americans need Military type assault weapons for “self defense”?
Raise the age? That will fix it.
Greg Abbott is a disgrace
His goons are disgraceful also. I wonder if Beto can sue any of them for stopping him from exercising his right to free speech.
The people on that stage are emblematic of the complete failure of any sense of humanity or decency that pervades a majority of governing institutions in this country. Completely contemptuous. Evil is the destruction of life and evil is raging unabated.
I always find it strange to see an entourage standing behind the person at the microphone. I noticed how it became more and more prominent with Trump. Most places I have worked the question would be, "don't the rest of you have work to get on with? We have a mass shooting to deal with people!"

Yep o rourke is totally right, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, or stop pretending to be upset about this over and over again.
AMEN! I didn't even see Abbott show any real emotion when he was reading from the script. But when I saw the distraught parents on TV, I couldn't stop crying. And after reading from his script, Abbott gleefully jaunts off to a happy, happy fundraiser! I can't even imagine being as heartless and cold-blooded as these people are! But then again.....they probably DID send "sincere thoughts and prayers" to the victim's families. 😒 How very thoughtful and kind!
Yes. They make a mockery, time after time, of the expression "Thoughts and prayers". It has become an empty, meaningless, insulting phrase.

This breaks my heart. The unbelievable evil that lurks in some souls, too often just can’t be foreseen or for-warned. This whole timeline has been revised more than once and the law enforcement list of officers who actually stopped the gunman has also been revised. It may all be revised again because evidence takes time to collect but the news waits for no one. Shame on anyone who politicizes this tragedy looking for easy answers, instead of studying every aspect of all these school shootings and implementing real changes so that no child will be afraid to go to school. No parent will fear to let their children go to school. The teachers who died trying to protect these children are special heroes who showed extraordinary courage. I pray for everyone affected because no-one will come out of this unchanged, and some will never be whole again.
It is in a lot of people but thank goodness they can't walk into Wal-Mart and buy guns and ammunition. This is only the USA problem because guns are more important than childrens lives.
Actually there were about 40 officers loitering about outside the classroom as the parents could hear their children screaming
Don’t say that, people might realize the cops are not on our side.
Sakura Pilar ,
Stop and think for a minute. Who , employs the police ? The police are employed by the Democrats that control the city. And they control the police .
Next , the Democrats tell you that they are so concerned about the children. Do you know that with Democrat sponsership and support , that more than 90 million ( thats 90 MILLION ) children have been killed under Roe vs. Wade. And some Democrat controlled states allow babies to be killed right up to the moment of birth. As soon as the head shows , a scalpel is inserted into the soft spot of the skull. One more moment and that baby would be crying ! Now it's dead because the Democrats say that it's okay.
Haven't you noticed that ALL of these mass shooters and killers have all been young people that have had Liberal training and indoctrination all of their lives ? No old people like myself that had a normal upbringing.
Gun control is the answer ? The British did that ! Without changing their Liberal indoctrination. And now the British government is trying to implement KNIFE CONTROL .
And what about motor vehicles ? I heard not long ago that some young person had driven an SUV or a van into a crowd of people. Not the only time that it has happened. You don't hear as much about that as I'm sure that you don't want to give up your car.
It's not the implements that need to be controlled. It's the PEOPLE
that need to be raised differently !
The Democrats have been sowing their seeds of discontent for decades. And now , their weeds are maturing and growing out of control. Take a weapon (guns ) away and they will simply turn to something else because those kinds of people have remained the same. Next , you , won't be allowed to have a knife to cut your meat with. Why ? Because the Democrat's weeds are growing out of control. I'll tell you this. It's going to become worse !
Watching your friends die while waiting to be shot is torture. 40 officers loitered and listened while children were being tortured, and as their parents were being tortured.
Now they say 80 cops and some went in to get their own kids. Left the rest
how ever many cops were there none of them did anything to save those kids. Are you telling me the 7 trained cops there at 11.35 between them couldn't have taken down a solo teenager?
"Sir, you are outta line!"
Put me in a room with that hillbilly.

The children don't have to die. We need to quit paying for security for politicians they seem that a lot of them get rich let them pay for there own.
So the politicians can have gun protection as long as they pay for it themselves? But us peasants can't?
and their own healthcare !
Great idea, unfortunately they'll just give themselves another raise or three to cover it
Gun violence in the United States is slowly becoming more devastating than Hurricanes …Since the beginning of this year there have been at least 27 shooting deaths on school property with 56 people injured. Republican Senators have bluntly refused to offend the NRA and save parents the trauma and grief over the loss of their children and loved ones. A simple call to action is by pre-naming all upcoming and predictable mass shootings after recalcitrant Senators e.g. Ted Cruz Mass Shooting; Mitch McConnell Mass Shooting; Susan Collins Mass Shooting; John Hawley Mass Shooting; Tim Scott Mass Shooting etc. In other words, the Republicans who refuse gun controls will now own future school shootings and other mass murders. This year’s hurricanes will be known as Alex; Bonnie; Colin; Danielle; Rina and Jose, among others.
Stop saying what we need to do and DO IT
I was unfortunate enough to have to view Laura Ingraham’s program where they were condemning Beto for his actions, calling it a political self serving move. I’m a nurse and was in one of my elderly patient’s rooms at the time. I almost had to ask my patient to turn the sound off it made me so sick. Laura Ingraham, you are truly the devil.
I have seen so many posts of people saying, "Bless the souls of these children who sacrificed their lives for our gun rights". Seriously. What the actual F. Deranged.

@@DemocratsrPDFfiles did you not watch the full episode or are you just dense? Armed officers "engaged with" the gunman before he went into the school and couldn't stop him. There was an armed guard at the Florida shooting too. That's not a real solution, it's just an excuse to keep selling weapons of war so gun manufacturers can keep making money. And in case you haven't noticed, there are plenty of bank robberies too. Yet more proof that more people with guns is not the solution.

No its not mass murders rights it's the law abiding citizen rights to protect themselves their family and property. So get rid of your TV cell phone and go back to quil and ink for your communications and I'll go back to using a muzzleloader.

@@ryryhi67 sure, but do you need an assault rifle to protect your family?
It's evil to tell me that you have no obligation to protect me, and then to prevent me from being able to care for myself....
Well spoken! Keep saying it again and again and again until they get the message!
"Sir you're outta line". Speaking truth to power, has never been "outta line". Through history people have been, ridiculed, torchured, and given their lives, to speak truth to power. Speaking out is how change starts.
It's because Abbott is a fascist. Most (if not all) of the GOP is mask-off openly fascist now. Before Trump at least they had the courtesy of _pretending_ they cared about democracy.
I thought freedom of speech was a right guaranteed by your Constitution, unfortunately so does the right to own these weapons, Beto had every right to speak his mind, Rj in Oz
@@rjnation5042 I suggest you read the 2nd Amendment because it talks about _well regulated militias._ Not domestic terrorists.

Excellent rationality Lawrence.
Beto O'Rourke is to be congratulated , admired and voted for ! Outraged for lack of change as far as gun control goes ..act now to change gun control laws ...
Beto is just doing political theater. Did he push this issue when he was running?

@@JeffM70 I'd argue the Democrats enable the Republicans at EVERY turn, using them as controlled opposition to excuse their inaction and inability to fight for anything but their donors' interests. Do you think the Republicans would be capable of existing if the Democrats weren't feckless by design? If they actually fought and won for things the American people desperately need? Of course not. It's a FALSE two-party dichotomy for a reason, and both of them need each other to continue their existence.
@@interdimensionalsteve8172 republikkkans are against all three and democrats are for them! Stop with the false equivalences!
@@JeffM70 Actually it would have to depend on which democrats as well. Otherwise you would have them already. Made no mistake, if a politician openly states that he/she is a progressive... they are likely for it. If they are centrist... they are not.
@@JeffM70 You are simplifying it like a good little Democrat :) This is not about the words they mouth when campaigning, but their actions (or lack thereof). The Democrats ARE technically "for" those things, but when push comes to shove will they fight for them? No, and that's the problem. They are feckless by design. Why do you think Dem leadership *regularly* say that they need a strong and robust Republican party? If they believe the Republicans are a terrorist organization (as I do), and are quite literally the most dangerous organization to the future sustainability of the human race (as Noam Chomsky believes), then tell me why they must be strong and robust?
That’s disgusting.
When kids playing with matches or lighters in their house, the worse thing that can happen is the house will be on fire.
If you don't want your house on fire, then don't let your kids play with those things or keep away those things from your kids.
or teach them how to use it safely. if you never let your kids light a match or work with fire they're even more likely to burn their house down later on when they finally try it.
All of the smart cops in Texas quit when they passed the open carry laws. They knew better. So they quit! My brother is one of them.
Texas has more law enforcement deaths by gun than any other state in the US! So, I believe you and your brother is truly smart to resign.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
And now Trump is going to Houston to get his ego fix rally...
And the Governor of Texas is going to an NRA Rally this weekend. That man made it the easiest state to get guns. Mexicans are getting guns in Texas and smuggling them across the border, that's how easy it is to get guns in that state. The parents of those dead children will never see them again, they couldn't identify them because they no longer had faces. If you are from Texas and you aren't demanding that your politicians make stricter gun laws then you are complicit in these children's deaths. If all Americans aren't demanding this stop, you are all complicit in these deaths.
@@Swnsasy And he’s doing it to a room where backpack and guns aren’t allowed. I wonder why that is do you think? It’s the gun crowd, should be mostly good guys with guns right?

He also sent $10,000 worth of baby formula to Ukraine in March.

Without fundraising for campaigns you'll only get the super wealthy in office
Agree, 100%
Will you vote them out?
or will you have to do more to free yourself?
NRA lobbying: 2.2 million a year
Teachers union lobby: 40+ million a year
Democrats “vote out all fund raising attenders, on all levels”
Republicans: “uhhhh okay sure.”
Later this week, a middle school student was searched in Fort Worth, Texas. The police officer who searched this kid found a loaded gun in his/her backpack.
The officers who "confronted" the murderer FAILED to do their jobs. Full Stop
I'm reminded of the MASH scene when the General says, "This is a press conference. The last thing I want to do is answer a bunch of questions."
When it is to inform . . . no questions are requested to be asked!

The only time i saw police in my school was when they teached us road safety for riding bicycles to school. They were armed with knowledge
We walked down the street with our guns. the police were not called in panic to come shoot us like democrats did to Tamir Rice.. If they drove by they may stop and ask us what we were going to shoot, and to be safe and have fun.
Beto was completely right, he is a good man, we need more men like him standing up for what we all know is right 👏👍
