House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday chastised Republicans who voted against a bipartisan bill that would create an Amber Alert-like system for active shooter situations.

Late Wednesday, the House voted 260-169 to approve the legislation, with 168 Republicans and one Democrat (Wisconsin Rep. Ron Kind, who is not running for reelection) voting in opposition.

The Active Shooter Alert Act — which was sponsored by Reps. David Cicilline, D-R.I., and Fred Upton, R-Mich. — would allow law enforcement to deploy the alert system to notify the public when there is an active shooter threat in schools and community centers.

“If your child were in a school where there was an assault, wouldn’t you want to know? How can these Republicans vote no?” Pelosi said during her weekly press briefing on Capitol Hill. “These people think their political survival is more important than the survival of our children.”

4. Great Nancy

Keep them coming. Start throwing bills that benefit the working class to the Senate in rapid fire motion. Force these fascist house members to expose who they really are via their votes. Force the Senate to actually work, even if the bills fail thereby exposing the fascists on that floor. Slightly modify bills that fail in the Senate and run them back through the house. use our majority in the house to to turn up the tennis ball machine on these fuckers. Take a page from their playbook. OVERWHELM these assholes for once while we can. These fuckers aren't smart enough to play defense.

Not Republicans.

The last thing Republicans want is more attention directed at school shootings, such shootings hurt them politically.
