Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer, 64, cried senior moment on live TV as his attempt to attack Gov. Tim Walz blew up in his face. In a Sunday appearance on ABC’s This Week, Emmer suggested Walz was to blame for a lack of resources to prevent more mass shootings after last week’s tragic incident at a Catholic school in Minneapolis. The shooting left two children, ages 8 and 10, dead and injured around 20 people.

Emmer used his appearance to play up calls for more school resources to help. “It’s going to be very important that the schools have the resources,” he told co-host Martha Raddatz.

Then Raddatz pointed out that Emmer, a MAGA convert, had already voted against the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The law, which provides schools with millions of dollars to expand mental health services and safety measures, was introduced on the heels of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in the same year.

“You talk about what can be done,” Raddatz said, “after mass shootings in Buffalo and in Uvalde, Texas, Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions of dollars for schools to expand mental health services, enhance safety measures. You did not vote for that bill. Why?” The moment appeared to catch Emmer off guard, so he pleaded amnesia before launching into a bumbling explanation. “I don’t remember the reasons that I didn’t vote for that bill,” Emmer said.

1. Hogan's Heroes....

Sergeant Schultz.

2. The Group of Pedophiles (GOP) is so utterly clueless

they vote against everything that is helpful to the country, take credit when it passes and their district gets funding and then forget there’s a record of how they voted

[travelingthrulife]

6. The beautiful thing for them is that MAGA rejects any government documentation

as fake. So their actual record is meaningless, it is only the lie they tell that is important.

3. Tommy Emmer Not Ready for Primetime

Morons like Emmer are best suited for NewsMax where they don’t have to worry about confronting inconvenient truths.

4. Elise Stefanik

Vote "no" too.

Wonder what her excuse was?

[tanyev]

5. He wants to blame a "senior moment" when he's only 64?

Then he should be very, very concerned about all the public memory issues we’re seeing from the 79 year old president he supports.

7. Ember needs to resign if he's that forgetful

8. These MAGA morons just make crap up and spew it out their blowholes.

Such easily disproven lies and false charges! They must think we are all just as stupid and ignorant as trump and his worshippers. Pathetic.

9. Magats have perfected the ability to speak without thinking.

They're words are just brain stem reactions to anything that triggers them.

10. To be fair

2022 was a really long time ago. Plus, who would have thought to review their vote on a bill addressing school shootings when they were going on national television to address school shootings?

This was an unfair gotcha question! He should sue ABC News!

11. The reasons you can't remember? Here are some

hints to your must-be age related memory loss:
NRA, NRA, NRA, NRA, NRA, NRA, NRA, NRA,
$, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $, $,
Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed ….

Hope that helps you evil asshole.

12. As a Minnesotan, all I can say is...

Tom Emmer is the south end of a north bound horse! That is all!
