Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz—who is speaking Friday at the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action Leadership Forum— again accused Democrats of politicizing mass shootings in his response to the murders of 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

As reported by CNN, the Texas Republican said:

"Inevitably when there's a murderer of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens."

Disgusted the GOP Senator's first instinct after the murders of school children in his own state was to defend guns, Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego of Arizona pulled no punches in his response to Cruz.

Gallego tweeted:

"F'k you , you care about a fetus but you will let our children get slaughtered."
"Just get your a** to Cancun."
"You are useless."

Less than half an hour later, Gallego—a United States Marine Corps combat veteran—clarified his message to Cruz.

The Arizona Democrat tweeted:

"Just to be clear f'k you you f'king baby killer."

When Cruz suggested the usual NRA solution to mass shootings—adding more guns—Gallego let Cruz know he was living in the past.


People were on board with Gallego's message.






Cruz was not the only one Gallego had a message for.

He also addressed California Republican Darrell Issa...

...and Arizona Democratic Senator Krysten Sinema...

...and former New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie...

...and Colorado Republican gun rights advocate Lauren Boebert...



...and Texas' lax gun laws.





Gallego expressed the frustration many in the United States are feeling.

Whether anyone in the GOP will listen is unknown.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
