Political commentator Roland Martin said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) is “sick and demented’ while discussing the mass shooting Saturday in Allen, TX. Guest host Michael Steele said, “You would think after a mass shooting like this, lawmakers in the state where it happened would take stock or work on policy changes to the secretary’s point to prevent it from happening again. But that’s not what happens in Texas. What do we do here? How do we break this cycle? It’s not like every two weeks, my friend. It’s like every other day we’re having these...

Rush Limbaugh has long compared aspects of the environmentalist movement to a religion. CNN’s Ali Velshi has given some evidence of that hypothesis. Friday’s "American Morning" featured a segment on carbon offset credits, which Velshi and cohost Kiran Chetry all but endorsed.
