John "It's just premature to talk about it." Thune

[tenderfoot]

After the Nashville school shooting, Senate Minority Whip John Thune says any discussion of gun legislation is “premature,” even though a majority of voters support reforms.

CNN’s @mkraju : “130 mass shootings just this year alone.”

Thune: “It’s just premature to talk about it.”

9. Just when would be a good time? Could he squeeze in an appointment before the next one?

10. I agree with the Senator.

We all know that hell will freeze over before the republicans do anything about gun reform. We'll talk about it when we finally vote your useless ass out!

18. That's the point.

"ONE ISSUE VOTERS" should target every politician who denies or waffles on gun reform and vote them out of office. If you do nothing about guns, you go down to defeat. End of story. Voting them out of office is the only way. They won't change.

This is an ideal issue for Dems. It's simple, concrete, and potent. The GOP supports the slaughter of children. The electorate knows. It's ugly, but it's true. The Dems MUST take control of the narrative. That's been a major reason that the GOP never has to go on the defensive. THEY CONTROL THE NARRATIVE. Either the Dems take away that control, or they tacitly support the slaughter of children themselves. We've seen this process go on for decades. The big money is ambivalent about the slaughter of children and adults. Again and again, profits mean more than life itself.

11. Well, gee, Senator, if you're SCARED...

Now you know why I'm not a journalist. Preserving access to idiots like Thune would not be high on my list of priorities.

12. I did hear that tonight - Good Grief, how many have to die before it's "time?"

And I also heard Steve Scalise say much the same thing - and this joker was critically wounded by another mass shooter! What does it take?!

[RockRaven]

13. There are mass shootings every day in this country. By that standard it will never be talked about.

Which is EXACTLY what he wants.

14. coward

[PCIntern]

15. I bet that's not the only thing that is "premature" with him

My question is, did he really ejaculate that comment? What a load!

[MissMillie]

16. 130 mass shootings in less than 90 days...

So, when will there be a good time to talk about it?

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. What's "premature" is Thune's cognitive demise.

Who believes this cowardly wimp? Premature, my ass.

[JanLip]

19. Ca-Ching

Well that’s the sound of more money from NRA for Thune. 💰💰

20. Cornyn's A Cornhole, A Horses Patootie, He Opens His Mouth...There's Nothing But Doody...

Butt nuggets of wisdom define his shit-show, a dark cloud of vapors where-ever he goes!!
When his ass-cheeks, flap as he speaks...
All of reason know...

He's feeding his flock the malevolent hate that defines them where 'ere... they go...

[aocommunalpunch]

21. How close to him personally is too close?

Fucking Scalise actually got shot and it didn’t change him. Lunacy and madness.

[dlk]

22. The epitome of sanctimony...

And a big middle finger to anyone who cares about keeping our children safe. Of course, when you have no conscience, you do anything.
