Parents of murdered Uvalde child visit Ted Cruz-show him photo of daughter in child size casket...

[IcyPeas]

He couldnt care less. I have no words to describe what I think of Ted Cruz. The lowest of the low.

Felix shared our last photo of Lexi - in her child-size casket - as we asked @tedcruz to protect his constituents by supporting a federal ban on assault weapons. He declined. Instead, he said he supports increasing law enforcement presence on school campuses.

1. Man has no moral compass.

What he has is a financial network that makes sure his message gets out.

[dchill]

4. What good would a compass do?

[DBoon]

10. It would allow him to more effectively go in the wrong direction

[dchill]

28. Oh. Yes, of course.

[ornotna]

2. Ted Cruz is a heartless bastard

But then everyone here is already aware of that.

[Deuxcents]

3. He needs knocked off his arrogant high horse

[UTUSN]

5. K & Big R#5

[Docreed2003]

6. No compassion, no human connection, no decency

Just sheer arrogance

Even if he knew he would be unswayed, the LEAST he could do is try to show a single ounce of empathy. Nope he can't even do that...just said there with his legs crossed like the pompous ass he is

[spanone]

7. Disgusting 'human' being

Arrogant piece of shit .

[DET]

8. This is my Tucker Carlson impression...

That’s the Ted Cruz I’m pretending to give a crap but you know I really don’t look. Ted Cruz thought bubble - Is it working?

[Phoenix61]

9. Hard to imagine a bigger waste of space. nt

[UpInArms]

11. Cruz's soul left his corporeal body long ago

eom

[RainCaster]

12. That was a fart, he has no soul

[Hekate]

13. The human hagfish attempts to look as if he gives a damn

[TexasTowelie]

14. I wonder if he might feel differently

if one of the wounded or deceased were his daughters?

[LeftInTX]

32. I doubt it

[catrose]

15. More LEOs to stand outside the door while kids get shot?

[IcyPeas]

23. Exactly!

[Bettie]

16. He looks bored

like he's thinking that they need to get out so the money people can come in.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. I wish they would show him, and the world, what their child looked like

after being murdered. People really do need to see this. Otherwise, they think gun deaths are as neat and simple as shown on TV or in movies. It's not.

[peppertree]

18. +1

A picture is worth a thousand words - and never more so than in these cases.

Not that Wretched Rafael would care in the least - but he'd feel the heat, that's for sure.

[Kaleva]

20. I don't think one could post such pictures here at DU

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

27. Those pictures need to be posted.

People have no clue what incredible damage guns do. They need to see it.

[Kaleva]

29. They can be found on the Internet like car crash pics

[mountain grammy]

19. He won't ever vote to ban these weapons.

Time for people to stand up and vote for someone who will.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

21. I'm shocked that cruz could sit upright in that chair

he clearly has no spine, so that is an amazing feat.


I hope all the people who voted for this man over Beto and call themselves people of faith, rot in Hell

[keithbvadu2]

31. Rafael Cruz stands up for those he believes in.

[BigmanPigman]

22. I remember in 2016 the DNC sent me a survey

and asked who I thought was the worse GOP candidate that the DNC should focus on taking down. The choice was between Cruz and tRump. I chose tRump but it was a really tough choice.

25. Wow. The nerve to say that to these parents after 90 law enforcement guys stood

around making impotent plans while the children and their teacher were murdered and bleeding out/might have been saved

[orleans]

26. republicons don't give a rat's ass until it hits them

if one of his kids was massacred then he MIGHT give a shit.
or he might think he should probably not lose his nra donations and just keep supporting weapons of human destruction since his kid is dead anyway and he can't bring his kid back

absolutely amoral

look at his cavalier fucking ugly disrespectful slouch as he shrugs off the photo thinking -- meh just a dead kid in a coffin--not my fault

30. Joe The Plumber: 'Your Dead Kids Don't Trump My Constitutional Rights' To Have Guns

Joe The Plumber: ‘Your Dead Kids Don’t Trump My Constitutional Rights’ To Have Guns

Ironic how he chose that verb back in 2014

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/27/joe-the-plumber-guns_n_5397981.html

Trump said he would rush in.

[Initech]

33. There were 300 police officers at the fucking scene!!!!

The problem isn't more cops! The problem is the fucking guns!
