GOP Senator Roasted Over This ‘Idiot’ Take On Manhattan Mass Shooting

Kennedy advised Fox News’ Sean Hannity that “all you are able to do in a time like that is be sorry” for the victims of the mass shooting earlier than predicting that a few of his colleagues will name for extra gun management legal guidelines on Tuesday morning.

“We’ve received lots of of gun management legal guidelines, Sean. Perhaps hundreds,” he mentioned.

He later added, “We don’t want extra gun management. We’d like extra fool management. And I don’t know precisely how to do this however I do know this — I don’t need to hear anybody feeling sorry for this man who did this.”

Kennedy has been a gun management opponent and has acquired a 92% ranking or greater from the Nationwide Rifle Affiliation since his first profitable Senate marketing campaign in 2016, according to the nonprofit Vote Smart.

There have been 8,590 deaths resulting from gun violence within the U.S. to date this yr and 15,704 accidents.

The motive of the gunman, who killed himself, stays unclear, officers mentioned.

Critics on social media critiqued the senator over his name to motion.
