Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) slammed his colleagues for doing “nothing” to address gun violence, hours after a gunman shot and killed at least 18 kids and one teacher at a Texas elementary school, Axios reports.
Said Murphy: “Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate … if your answer is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives — we do nothing?”
He added: “Why are you here, if not to solve a problem as existential as this? This isn’t inevitable. These kids weren’t unlucky. This only happens in this country, nowhere else. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking they might be shot that day.”
