Boehner: Mass Shootings ‘Embarrassing Our Country’
Breitbart ^ | 04/18/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/19/2021 10:03:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that a string of mass shootings had become an embarrassment to America.

Anchor Dana Bash asked, “47 mass shootings in the United States in just over the last month. And I know you know this, polls show the vast majority of Americans support at least some new gun restrictions. When you were speaker, there were 20 first-graders killed in Newtown, Connecticut. Looking back, do you regret not passing laws then, and do you to see Republicans come to the table now at least to pass something?”

They prescribe them drugs which sometimes they take. And sometimes they mix with recreational drugs. Or sometimes they don’t even take them.

And they may be at home but they aren’t under house arrest.

They still order things and buy things and train. Unsupervised.

If they aren’t legally accountable for their actions then they need a legal guardian with them at all times.

They “pass” for normal until they have an episode or several.

And the families of some of these shooters even report them to the authorities who then file papers and do nothing.

Many are known wolves.

Or instead of trying to legislate against the laws of economics, maybe lower the supply of cheap illegal labor and let the price of wages rise.

I’m referring to the effects of the lockdowns that we are seeing bubbling up all over the place - and the media barrage of gaslighting.

It’s become evident that the Obama FBI helped orchestrate the Irving Texas jihadi attack on the Draw Mohammed contest.

Agent was even on scene to observe his handiwork. They hadn’t informed the politically incorrect “victims” about the credible threat and were dumbstruck when the group’s hired security neutralized both jihadis.

The math gets funny. AS with Disney when they trumpet that each new animated film is their 35th or 40th etc. Never 36th or 42nd.

A drunk chain smoker representing the U.S. is a much bigger embarrassment.

Is Boehner holding out for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine because it would mean no more tears?

Nah, that battle is lost too thanks to Repulicans like John Boehner and others.

Don't worry though. You're not going to get any-you won't- don' worry about the GOP. You guys, half of you are so afraid of the GOP. There's nothing to be afraid of. And you know what? If they're not with you, we have to fight them every once and a while. That's OK. They're doing what they think is right. I'll tell you, they're doing what they think is right.

But sometimes we're going to have to be VERY tough and we're going to have to fight them.

Yeah, so as soon as the democrats are ready to talk about that TMTR and all that free shiite, I'm perfectly willing to listen to their ideas. I feel like I'm already on board in fact. Let's make a deal. making deals is an art form you know? illegal immigration? F it!!! Bring 'em all in. Let's make a deal.

Is 90% of the GOP RINOs now? It's incredible how fast the complete surrender came. Paul Ryan fought Trump 100x harder than the GOP "leadership" is fighting Pelosi and Biden.

Marjorie Taylor Greene merely proposed an America First Caucus to keep Trump's issues front and center -- and was denounced by Kevin McCarthy himself. Traitors all.

A real embarrassment would be having a spineless drunk as Speaker of the House who retires to be a dope salesman. Sound familiar, Mr Boehner?

I can tell you, John, that mass graves of the deplorables, once disarmed, are a bit worse.

That’s why we don’t disarm. Tyranny.

Boehner’s pals in the cannabis and dope trade.

His pals who got to the top prior to the “legal” “investment” boondoggle for whom Boehner is the chief lobbyist at this point, decrying the very methods and self defense needed greatly against these mobsters— for Cannabis Inc. They got to the top using massive firearm support— ask any experienced long time DEA major officer. Dopers and fully auto firearms go together, machine guns, dope/pot, Cartels and their political pals are in bed... together.

This clown’s daughter married a Jamaican Posse gang member— nuff said. He has much to fear from not supporting their efforts to disarm the rest of us.

In 2018, 40,000 people died from gunshots. This includes suicides and accidents.

In 2018, 40,000 died in car wrecks.

Anyone going to give up driving?

No, John, idiot, it definitely not an embarrassment. It is a tragedy. Besides the victims, it is also a tragedy because the bad guys are not shamed and put away and law abiding citizens are condemned for having guns to protect themselves. The evil doers are exalted and made heroes.

What did he do while in Congress to help reduce Chicago’s daily killings?
