Uvalde blame game continues - Today's episode

Last edited Fri Jul 29, 2022, 04:28 AM - Edit history (1)

Don McLaughlin, the mayor of Uvalde, Texas, sat down Tuesday with CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz and hurled a startling accusation at the Texas Department of Public Safety, specifically Director Steve McCraw. McLaughlin accused McCraw of a cover-up of the botched police response to the shooting at Robb Elementary School six weeks ago that left 19 children and two teachers dead.

McLaughlin began, “It’s a cover up on…” “On DPS?” Prokupecz cut in. “They’re covering up?” “McCraw’s covering up…” McLaughlin began again before Prokupecz once again interrupted, asking, “For who?” “For maybe his agencies,” McLaughlin answered, “or maybe he told the story he told.”

McLaughlin later said of McCraw, “He’s going to have to be held accountable when this is all said and done too. We all are. I mean, like I said, your story can’t change on something this horrific four times in three days, and that’s what it’s done.”

Questions have persisted about the slow police response to the shooting. Officers were reportedly outside for over an hour before confronting the shooter. While McCraw has pointed the finger at local police, McLaughlin brought into question the actions of the DPS.

Maybe everyone should just resign in disgrace.

the reporter thought the mayor was full of shit.

He is trying to coverup his stupidity and negligence by accusing others of a coverup.

Has been about cops, teachers, and city administration…. And not about guns.
