FNC’s Roberts, Baier Praise McConaughey’s ‘Impassioned Plea’ on Gun Legislation

Anchors Sandra Smith, John Roberts and Bret Baier reacted Tuesday on Fox News to actor Mathew McConaughey’s White House address, noting how “impassioned” McConaughey was.

Smith said, “You were just listening to actor Matthew McConaughey, born in Uvalde, Texas, meeting with the victims’ families, met with the president, saying we need to make the lost lives matter. He went into the ways he believes we can improve the situation in this country and prevent mass shootings. He wants to raise the age for buying an assault rifle to 21 years old unless you are in the military. He says all gun purchases should require a background check and red flag laws should be the law of the land. Someone from Hollywood calling to restore our family values in the wake of that mass shooting.”

Roberts said, “Real impassioned plea, the best presentation we have seen from that podium in an awfully long time, he is part of Hollywood, but a Texas native, Uvalde native very down to earth guy.”

Baier said, “That was an impassioned plea driven by he and his wife and the visit to Uvalde and what they heard firsthand, the people those kids and those teachers were going to be, As as good as it gets to make a point.”

He added, “You know, his specifics are a compromised position, and I think a lot of Americans can get around raising the age to 21 for AR-15, a four-day waiting period to make sure somebody just does not get it in the passion of the moment and does something. But there are compromised positions here, and I think Capitol Hill is working on this.”

When the premise of his argument is so wrong, it’s hard to accept the rest of his proposal. Ppl cannot buy assault rifles in general, and allowing military personnel to be the exception is ridiculous. They’re issued an M-16 while serving, but they don’t need one for home or recreational use, so there is no need for them to buy one with their limited funds, especially since they cost around 6 grand, FFS!

Impassioned?

That means emotional, which is usually not logical.

He read his speech. Typed at about a dozen lines per page.

This has been a setup all along.
Coincidence that it’s his hometown. 😏
He was floundering for any traction against beetoff to run for governor🤦🏻‍♂️
Cops in Uvalde refused to help students😡

They killed children for Mathew to gain traction in an election.
Do not doubt anything these rats will try.

There is no "Fox News". It was replaced years ago by Murdoch News, which is simply a disguised version of CNN. Its reaction to this Hollywood celebrity's calling for the multipronged violation of the Second Amendment is a prime example of the change.

Impassioned wrestlers love as one
A looney man cries for guns and gets none

They should pass a law requiring a BATF Class III license to buy an assault rifle.

(Oh, wait)

Baier has chosen to emulate Neil Cavuto, to his great discredit.

Both are men without chests.

Though they do play one on TV.

I don’t think someone who was the star of “Killer Joe” should be lecturing America on gun violence.

Jesse Watters showed a clip from 2 years ago where he said is for taking away AR-15s.
