Beto Tells Some Hard Truths about Gun Control on Chris Cuomo

Since several Democratic Senators and others (including 1 running for President) decided to join Trump and the GOP in throwing Beto under the bus in the Press this weekend, I am happy Beto is standing up to them. The fact of the matter is we had the Presidency, the House and the Senate in 2009 and we didn't do anything on background checks or assault weapons. Of course the NRA and Republicans are the primary culprit but we can't absolve our leaders either for 20 years of inaction since Columbine.

is a prominent Biden ally, and was on one of the first to go after Beto post-debate. I hope that was not coordinated.

attack.

Coons is the best friend of Jeff Flake.

i think he is just one of those right leaning types so just consider that.

He helped speed up Mike Pompeo’s secretary of state nomination. Heck, he chose Johnny Isakson (R-Ga) as his mentor when he joined the Senate.

His story about the mother watching her 16 year old daughter die over the course of an hour because there were no more ambulances is so gut wrenching.

Beto was clearly moved by what he has heard in El Paso.
