Just minutes after I was on the Senate floor w/@ChrisMurphyCT & @SenBlumenthal to ask the Senate to pass universal background checks legislation—which Republicans blocked—reports broke of another school shooting. @senatemajldr, you can help us stop this. Let the Senate pass #HR8.
@ChrisMurphyCT @SenBlumenthal @senatemajldr After months and years of inaction—& far too many lives lost—there was the first sliver of hope in a long while that the President and Senate GOP would finally put the safety of our families over their allegiance to the NRA & do something to end the gun violence epidemic.
Now—after two more months of inaction—President Trump has betrayed his pledge to address this tragic epidemic. Once again, he’s chosen to abdicate his responsibility to keep our families and communities safe and has broken yet another promise he made to the American people.
Cowardice is what we’re seeing from far too many Republicans when it comes to protecting families from the scourge of gun violence.
@SenateDems will keep building support to pass universal background check legislation & #EndGunViolence—& we won’t give up until we get this done.
