LINCOLN — A Nebraska Democratic Party leader blasted state Republicans Tuesday for sending out an email within hours of the Texas elementary school shooting that attacked Democratic gubernatorial candidate Carol Blood over a gun bill vote.

“Their subject line was ‘Carol Blood wants us defenseless,’” party Chair Jane Kleeb said in a tweet. “You mean like the kids and their teacher that was killed? Totally disgusting.”

Blood called the email “hateful and meant to generate fear” and said it was “not an appropriate response” to the killing of 19 children and two adults at a school in Uvalde, Texas.

“Mr. Pillen who claims he will not participate in dirty campaigning continues to show us with his silence he will only keep his head down and pretend that his silence does not make him complicit,” she said.

2. Republican politicians are a bunch of greedy, self-serving bastards.

Any human being who owns an assault weapon and has either a heart or a brain should send their killing machine to Ukraine to help defend against Russian soldiers. Better yet, take it there yourself. You enjoy using a killing machine? Go use it there.
