Sen. Ted Cruz: El Paso Shooting Was 'Act Of Terrorism And White Supremacy'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) spoke out Sunday about the El Paso, Texas, shooting in which the suspected gunman ― a 21-year-old white man who may have shared a white supremacist manifesto online before the attack ― killed at least 20 people at a Walmart, injuring dozens more.
“As the son of a Cuban immigrant, I am deeply horrified by the hateful anti-Hispanic bigotry expressed in the shooter’s so-called ‘manifesto,’” Cruz tweeted. “This ignorant racism is repulsive and profoundly anti-American.”
The senator then called Saturday’s violence “a heinous act of terrorism and white supremacy,” calling on the nation to “speak clearly to combat evil in any form it takes.”

Ted Cruz is a Socialist Commie-Hippie!
SEND HIM BACK, SEND HIM BACK!
To Canada?
Canada doesn't want him.
Not so. Trudeau welcomes all (insane) asylum seekers.
Cruz took more money from the NRA than anyone, he needs to STFU.
Also keep in mind the amount of money the NRA spends on political ads. In the last 15 years, they have spent more than $132 million dollars on attack and support ads for Congressional and Presidential candidates. In the 2016 election cycle, they spent $54 million on ads attacking Hillary Clinton, and they spent $11 million on ads supporting Donald Trump. These figures do not include direct campaign donations.
To be fair to the NRA, I looked for a more complete donation list that might reflect more favorably on the NRA
at least in the balance of their donations to both parties, but alas, the top 20 individual donations to other than Trump were all Republicans.
One might assume that we don't have a gun control problem at all, we have a Republican lobbying problem.
In reference to your last six words. I will use only five of them and you know which word I did not use, right?
Name ONE that has grabbed anyone's guns and taken them? We'll wait.
We hear the same BS every single election cycle.. "[insert democrat politician here] will take all your guns!!!!!" Of course it never happens, or even comes close to happening, but the right wing buys it every fucking time.
It's the NRA's fault ?
I'm an NRA member, and I haven't killed anyone …. EVER !
Neither did the El Paso shooter, until he did.
And I've lived longer than he has too.
Kids do the darndest things don't they ?
