Oh come on. Mitich is a sell out.
Seriously, did you read his actual statement? He actually didn't say a word about gun control. He said:
“I met with Senator Cornyn this morning,” he told CNN. “As you know, he went home yesterday to see the family members and begin the factfinding of this awful massacre, and I have encouraged him to talk with Senator [Chris] Murphy and Senator [Kyrsten] Sinema and others who are interested in trying to get an outcome that is directly related to the problem. I am hopeful that we could come up with a bipartisan solution.”
Vanity Fair blasted him for that and said:
If you were just dropped on the planet today and didn’t know anything about the Senate minority leader, that would probably sound very encouraging, hopeful, and like the right thing to do. Unfortunately, for those of us who live on earth and have long been familiar with the Kentucky lawmaker, what it actually sounds like is a bunch of bullshit that will likely precede his doing absolutely nothing....
