MA Representative won't join moment of silence for Vegas
Boston Herald ^ | 10/2/17 | Bos Herald

Posted on 10/02/2017 8:36:18 AM PDT by raccoonradio

Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton says he will not participate in a moment of silence on the House floor after 50 people were killed in Las Vegas and more than 400 others were sent to area hospitals in the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

The Democratic congressman, along with his Bay State colleague Katherine Clark, also did not participate in a moment of silence after a mass shooting in Orlando claimed the lives of 49 people in June 2016. The two joined other Democratic representatives to walk out on the moment of silence in a protest over a lack of gun control.

They should join the moment of silence ... but take a knee! That’s the hip thing to do these days. No one knows why they are doing it but it’s hip.

Are the "Republicans" in the HOR and US Senate FINALLY going to recognize that the Dems who are framing the agenda hate America? Are they FINALLY going to start passing legislation that enacts their campaign promises?

Reps who walks out of a moment of silence are beyond despicable.

There's already laws on the books banning fully automatic weapons! What, if any, law would have stopped the lunatic from acquiring these weapons? Lawless people will find a way!

Far too many of the “Republicans” in the House and Senate are undocumented Democrats.
They agree with the America hating agenda.

The REAL Deplorables, the Democrat thugs.

The victims in Las Vegas were not a “protected demographic”, so they were entirely undeserving of any moment of even modest respect. Since they were all country music fans, that was prima facie evidence they were definitely Trump supporters, and therefore, in no need of the least recognition.

Seth Moulton takes a knee rather than share grief and respect for the families at the deaths of dozens of Americans

Maybe when we have a perfect country and a perfect society.... .

This type of human poltical animal is pure scum

Btw didnt they die in a “ gun free” zone?

lack of gun control.

Yes, we have a serious lack of gun control. Not nearly enough guns are under my control ...

Moulton “joined the United States Marine Corps. He served four tours in Iraq

This toad provides yet more evidence that prior honorable military service absolutely does NOT predict honorable service in political office.

Yes, when homicide is virtually unheard of in places like Vermont and Switzerland but it only takes Chicago a few weekends to equal what that madman did in Las Vegas, I guess gun control should always be the talking point for Dems.

If it were hip-hop youths; bet your buttocks that these pukes would participate.
Rats really are disgusting people. Full of hatred and vitriol.

The poster boy for the embarrassment that is known as the Massachusetts Congressional delegation.

It's the Congressional equivalent of taking a knee.

I looked at this jerk's bio--it says he was a Marine Corps officer. That's hard to believe.
