Sandy Hook family member wants Bernie Sanders apology over gun stance

[RandySF]

Washington (CNN)The daughter of the Sandy Hook Elementary School principal who was killed at Newtown told CNN Bernie Sanders owes victims' relatives an "apology for putting the gun lobby above our families."

Erica Smegielski, a 30-year-old Hillary Clinton supporter, tweeted "shame on you, @BernieSanders" Tuesday after he told The New York Daily News he would not have supported the victims suing the gun manufacturers.

"Shame on you, @BernieSanders try living one hour of our lives. Love, the #SandyHook Principal's Daughter," Smegielski wrote, linking to the The Daily News front page, blaring "Bernie's Sandy Hook shame."

Sanders was asked by the Daily News whether family members of the Sandy Hook victims should be allowed to sue gun manufacturers, and he responded, "No, I don't."

1. I think the Dem party should leave the Sandy Hook victims alone.

I honestly believe that you're shaming yourselves.

3. Abusing emotionally vulnerable people.

Politicians are always seeking to recruit people perceived as victims. They are easy to manipulate because their nerves are frayed. They feel the urge to lash out, and there is always somebody running for something who will get them in front of a TV camera so they can vent. It's probably not good for them, but it feels good to get some anger out. I hope Sanders does not recruit family members of those killed in Iraq. This has to stop somewhere. Please.

4. Sorry, but he owes her no apology.

One needn't apologize when one has done nothing wrong.

5. Why? The mother bought those guns legally, right?

Would a law suit bring those children back?

6. Why would Hillary USE victims of Sandy Hook!? Aren't there enough issues to debate?

Privatizing prisons??? Fracking????? more wars???? GMO's???? Keystone???? Trade deals?????

To cover it up you go and shine a light on those who suffer the worst of tragedy. Does she not see what she is doing?

THIS IS THE MOST PROFOUND REASON THAT MAKE HER UNQUALIFIED TO BE A PRESIDENT, ANYWHERE!
