Why are they scrambling? Republicans have a long held belief that school shootings are a fact of life. Apathetically shrugging it off is literally their position.

Possibly the dumbest and blatantly not empathetic answer any politician can give and to boot – it definitely is not what the American people want to hear. They want to hear what you plan to do to stop it. Moron.

They should just re-broadcast Trumps word salad about child care to “clarify things”…

He did really say that this was just a fact of life. Protected by bullet proof glass and armed guards.

I hope these two assholes get destroyed in November. Maga is a cancer that needs to be excised

Has there been a single thing that JD Vance hasn’t screwed up since becoming the VP candidate? He can’t even order donuts without becoming a laughing stock.

It must be difficult for someone like JD Vance to respond to deeply tragic events like that school shooting when you factor in the fact that he lacks any shred of humanity.

No amount of scrambling will make callous disregard for human life any fucking more acceptable.

JD Vance: some school kids are gonna die by school shooters and I’m ok with that, “It’S a FaCt oF LiFe”
TrooperJohn on
I’m ordinarily skeptical of Republican gaffes being poll-movers, due to the legacy media’s incessant normalizing of them, but this one feels different to me. It’s an easy soundbite straight from Vance’s mouth. That’s going to be very, very hard to spin away. The Democrats don’t even need to comment — Vance’s tongue speaks for itself.

“School shootings are a fact of life”
JD Vance doesn’t give a damn about other peoples children.
Fuck JD Vance.

trump on Perry Iowa school shooting – ‘We have to get over it’ – Vote Blue

Sigh. I read “scrambles” and assume, naively, that the team realizes this is bad, and is making an effort at damage control or putting together follow up statements for the candidate to make to try and make it less-bad.
Instead, “scrambles” just means attacking Harris by gaslighting and shrieking about “fake news”.

Children have to go outside and play, it’s called recess and it’s an integral part of school so there are no “hardened” schools safe from gun violence. Most schools are surrounded by chain link fences.
The GOP solution is to make schools into prisons.

Fact of life my ass. That Brian Pritchard guy came down here too. MTG is on his SW radio conspiracy show regularly
Snake oil salesmen, and they sold it to Appalachia. Generations destroying the education system, only way out is the military.

Reporter: How many kids dying from school shootings is acceptable?
JD: Whatever makes sense.
As a responsible gun owner that keeps mine secured, the relationship this country has with guns is sick. I’d give them up in a second if it meant saving the lives of innocent children.

It’s way easier to say school shootings are a fact of life, than to wonder why America has the best-armed school shooters and mass murderers in the world.

Remember Trumps handling of Covid well his selection of Vance was poor judgement especially when your a 78 year old fart.Vote blue

And yet kids parents who were directly impacted by this event will still vote for these assholes. We’ve seen “Trump says [insert ridiculous or insulating statement]” for nearly a decade now and nothing changes.

Scrambling? The man who said we need to “get over” school shootings is worried about some equally dumb shit his running mate said?

Why the scramble?
This is exactly Republican policy.

Trump says, “Get over it” when all these people die from gunshot wounds. Vance says, “Mass shootings are just a fact of life.” There is no way to spin this. Trump and Vance are just too weak to protect us.
TheVillageFool12 on
That’s been the Republican response to shootings for as long as I can remember. They’ll point fingers at mental health or family but then vote against anything that would further these fields. They’ll never outright say it but they’re perfectly content with sacrificing school children every few weeks to keep their pro-gun votes and support flowing. Care for the kids my ass.
