“Grief overwhelms the soul. Children slaughtered. Lives extinguished. Parents’ hearts wrenched. Incomprehensible." Those were the words that Utah Senator Mitt Romney tweeted yesterday after the murders of nineteen fourth-grade children and two teachers. He's made the same comments after previous school shootings. But, that hasn't kept him from taking money from the National Rifle Association. So far it's been almost fourteen million dollars. As long as he keeps voting against gun control legislation the money will keep coming. Talk one way, vote the other.
"Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde." Those were the words of Texas Senator Ted Cruz after the shooting in his own home state of Texas. More thoughts, more prayers and more money from the NRA. $176, 274 to be exact. His talk is cheap; donations from the gun lobby to his political war chest are not.
I can go on and on and on, but you get the point. These politicians try to say the right words, but their actions betray them. To them, cash over children's lives. It's despicable that they continue to take money from this organization. Their acceptance of the money makes them responsible, too. All of them have the blood of yesterday's victims on their hands. Remember this in November and in every future election until this changes.
