Mitch McConnell Is The Single Biggest Reason Yesterday's Shooting Happened

For years, Mitch McConnell has used the filibuster to block even voting on gun safety laws that 60-90% of us support, and which all other high income democracies have embraced, because he panders to an extremist base and likes Putin-tainted NRA money. He's despicable. As Mary Trump says "perhaps the biggest traitor in American history." Cliff provides the breakdown and takedown, in this 1-minute short.

Folks, there are a lot of reasons after yesterday's tragedy that we don't have sane gun laws, that we didn't get same gun laws after Newtown, that we didn't get them after Parkland after kids were shot just going to school, babies and elementary school kids and high school kids. Yes, but there's one reason one main reason that we don't have these laws right now and that reason is called Mitch McConnell. That reason is that sick emotionally disfigured power humping figure known as Mitch McConnell, who has filibustered every attempt to just pass background checks, universal background checks that 90 of Americans support. To, to stop gun trafficking where people are illegally able to buy guns for those that are on lists who aren't able to purchase. Child safety laws and red flag laws, we could pass all these things, it is Mitch McConnell, it is that two-faced bag of flesh who just cares about power and does not care about us or democracy. Blame a Mitch McConnell.
