Ted Cruz, predictably, began with prayers and quickly pivoted to politics.
As 14 students and a teacher were shot dead at a Texas elementary school, the Republican senator tried to demonize Democrats, saying theyd be coming after guns.
When a mass shooting happens, Cruz told reporters, You see politicians try to politicize it, he said. You see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens.
Cruzs only solution seems to the be thoughts-and-prayers approach common to GOP lawmakers which leads to no new restrictions on gun sales.

We see where Cancun Cruz's priorities lie.

(12,821 posts)Democrats discussing solutions is not politicizing. That's what citizens of a democracy do when there's a problem that MUST be solved.
On the other hand, Republican intransigence is indeed politicizing.
