Reid: Republicans, Their Two Pet Democrats, and NRA’s ‘Tolerance For Blood and Slaughter’ Are Bottomless

‘They are happening because of uniquely American politics’

EXCERPT:

REID: “And, please, please spare me the 'don’t politicize these deaths' B.S. because these deaths, these record numbers of American slaughters are political. They are happening because of uniquely American politics. They are happening because 327 million Americans are essentially hostages to a morally and financially bankrupt gun lobby, and the heartless, gutless politicians that they buy and own. And please stop thinking that there is some body count, some level of brutality and carnage that will move them, these Republicans and their two pet Democrats, that the rivers of blood will one day run deep enough and the slaughters tragic enough that these politicians will say, 'Okay, that’s enough, let’s do something,' because their tolerance for blood and the NRA’s tolerance for slaughter are bottomless, as is the grief and the torture that the parents of slaughtered children and slaughtered grandmas and shoppers and Bible study parishioners, all the slaughtered Americans will feel every day for the rest of their lives. So honestly, to hell with anybody who says, 'Don’t politicize this.' Because these deaths, until we change, until we stop letting this minority of ghouls rule us, this is who we are."
