rethugs on the TN shooting. we're not going to fix it

REPORTER: "Do you think there's any role for congress to play in reaction [to the Tennessee shooting]?"

BURCHETT: "I don't see any real role that we could do other than mess things up."


REPORTER: "What else should be done to protect people like your little girl?"

BURCHETT: "Well, we homeschool her."

Instead of Congress enacting stricter gun laws, background checks, and a ban on assault weapons, Congressman Burchett said, "you've got to change people's hearts," as he called for a Christian revival.

"As a Christian, we talk about the church. I've said this many times, I think we really need a revival in this country."

It got flooded with right wing nut jobs and 2A fanatics. It was so bad that I finally wound up deleting the tweet. I did add a bunch of users to my block list though. Fuck the 2A absolutionists.
