‘You don’t care’: Twitter bulldozes Ted Cruz for defending guns while ‘praying’ for Club Q victims
.
It took less than eighteen hours for United States Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to politicize Saturday night’s mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where a twenty-two-year-old man armed with an “AR-15-style rifle” murdered five people and injured eighteen others before being subdued by two courageous patrons and taken into custody.
While law enforcement has yet to reveal the motive behind the heinous crime, on Sunday afternoon, Cruz – an opponent of LGBTQ+ equality and gun control – exploited the tragedy to attack Democrats over proposals to regulate firearms. Cruz’s home state of Texas sees the most individual gun deaths per year out of all fifty.
“Heidi and I are praying for the victims & loved ones impacted by the horrific shooting in Colorado Springs. This senseless evil needs to end,” Cruz – who has raked in more gun lobby money than any other lawmaker from Texas – tweeted. “While Democrats rush to politicize before the facts are fully known, stripping law-abiding citizens of their 2nd Amendment right is wrong and will make us less safe.”
