Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Americans are currently angry at the joke made by President Joe Biden during his public speech over the shooting in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. (Read More Here).
He says in part: “Don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage. . . What in god’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone? Deer aren’t running through the forest with kevlar vests on for god’s sake. It’s just sick.”
After his statement, Americans said that it was inappropriate for President Biden to mention or even try to joke with the line: “Deer aren’t running the forest with Kevlar vests on for God’s sake.”
In a series of coarse tweets reflecting the raw outrage at the slaying of at least 18 children and a teacher in Uvalde, Texas, Gallego, D-Ariz., also alluded to an infamous 2021 trip to Cancun, Mexico, Cruz took as his state grappled with massive blackouts following a winter storm.
“F— you @tedcruz you care about a fetus but you will let our children get slaughtered. Just get your ass to Cancun. You are useless,” Gallego wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Twenty-one minutes later, Gallego doubled down on the message:
“Just to be clear f— you @tedcruz you f—— baby killer.”
Gallego did so in response to remarks by Cruz reported by CNN.
“Inevitably when there’s a murderer of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens,” Cruz said.
Gallego later turned his anger at Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who had tweeted, “Our thoughts and prayers are with these families.”
“F— your prayers. They haven’t worked for the last 20 mass shootings how about passing laws that will stop these killings,” Gallego said.
Gallego also ripped Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., after she condemned the shooting.
“We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless tragedy unfolding at Robb Elementary School in Texas and grateful to the first responders for acting swiftly,” Sinema said in a statement. “No families should ever have to fear violence in their children’s schools.”Gallego later turned his anger at Rep.

Gallego’s anger, which included a similarly profane tweet at the National Rifle Association, overshadowed a more measured comment from his official account in which he said, “We have surrendered our communities and our children to an endless parade of tragedy. Enough with the thoughts and prayers: we must take action and confront gun violence.”
For his part, Cruz issued a less politically charged statement shortly after news of the nation’s latest mass shooting first broke. In it, Cruz said he and his wife “are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde.” He also thanked the “heroic” police and first responders for their efforts at the scene.
The remarks by both Gallego and Cruz reflect the clear dividing lines on addressing America’s mass shootings and the contempt each side seems to hold for the other, especially after flashpoint moments such as the Uvalde massacre or the apparently race-fueled rampage at a Buffalo grocery that left 10 people dead less than two weeks earlier.

People discussing kevlar as an option. My husband’s vests are $700-$1300. So the plan is to spend obscene amounts of money weighing kids down with protective backpacks or vests they’ll need a split second to arm themselves with? Boosters can’t afford copy paper but ok.

Teachers already pay out of pocket for classroom pencils. Do we need to make a Donors Choose for Kevlar vests?

After yet ANOTHER mass shooing where at least 18 CHILDREN & ONE ADULT WERE KILLED IN TEXAS SCHOOL SHOOTING,

Democrat President Joe Biden tries to crack a joke during a press conference about 18 children being murdered: “Deer aren’t running through the forest with Kevlar vests on for God’s sake.
Stuart Henderson
@henderstu
Why not just mandate Kevlar vests on all the children? I mean if you’re so determined to ensure every mass murderer has a smooth path to gun ownership?
Michael Swartz
@Maswartz226
Almost 20 kids are dead and republicans are flipping out because
*checks notes*
Joe Biden made a comment about deer wearing kevlar vests.

@TheRealMSBlake
Teachers do not need Kevlar vests and weapons. We need the government to regulate the access to guns as vehemently as they ban books & try to control a woman’s uterus.

Joe Biden cannot help but use that stupid, lazy, inappropriate gun about deer in Kevlar vests. What a disgraceful moment in this inappropriately political speech. But yeah… he’s the unifier-in-chief.
