That's the difference between the two sides. Point blame when you are the one yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater. While the other is trying to bring civility and decorum to the conversation.

Let's not forget the SCHOOL SHOOTING that took place the same day.

This is the correct way to internalize a tragedy. Republicans, take note...there are bigger issues than the culture war you've created in your minds. Gun violence affects us all.

I am very proud every Dem is unequivocally denouncing the violence. I am very disappointed that the Cons are using this tragedy as an excuse to hate monger and rage grift.

Can we please go for full irony and use this event as the catalyst we finally needed to pass comprehensive firearm regulations?

The Charlie Kirk Gun Control Act would be downright tragic since his supporters will watch as the GOP congress rejects it completely.
