(41,785 posts)I totally get your point about not electing Repukes for ANY office.
However in the case of the Uvalde shootings, the local police failed to act either because of bad training or bad management. This isn't the fault of the Repuke Governor is it? I'm not sure how much of it can be pinned on Repuke Senators and Congressmen. Their collective failure is in their denial that guns (particularly assault rifles) must be regulated/outlawed and it's because they have no integrity. They take way too much money from the NRA and various rightwing PACs to be able to judge this situation clearly.
We need to stop asking the so-called leaders of the Repuke Party - we need to start TELLING THEM! Their own constituents need to start TELLING THEM. If they don't get with the new program of gun control and banning of assault weapons, then they'll be out of their cushy Washington jobs.
The Mayor and the Chief of Police of Uvalde need to step up and start answering questions now. Clearly the police department has no idea how to deal with this, and everyone is passing the buck. The Governor (as odious as he is) is superfluous here.
