Tucker Blatantly LIES About Gun Lobbies While Promoting Civil War Rhetoric

Tucker Carlson is spreading dangerous lies about gun violence and gun control and even echoing Trump’s call for civil war if gun control legislation ends up getting put into action. This is just another opportunity for Tucker to be washed clean of taking responsibility for his hateful and violent rhetoric. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.

Despite what you may have heard, the problem isn’t that we don’t care enough. There’s not a person in this country who is not horrified by the sight of murdered children. It’s the worst thing, and everybody thinks that. The problem is that the human mind is much more complex and harder to control than we like to admit. A person who is intent on committing violence is very hard to stop under any circumstances. An act of Congress isn’t going to do it. Neither will gun control. There are more guns in this country than there are people. There always have been. However you feel about that fact, you can acknowledge that you will never get rid of all of those guns. The Constitution prohibits that and you would set off a civil war if you try to do it.” ***

Soulless Ted Cruz Runs Away In Fear From The Truth About Gun Violence

Texas Senator Ted Cuz refused to ask reporters tough questions about gun violence in the country, calling them “propagandists” for suggesting mass shootings are a problem in the U.S. Cruz is set to speak at an NRA convention in Houston this weekend and has been bankrolled by the lobbying group for years, raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes since.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) abruptly walked off from a British journalist’s questions about gun violence in America two days after an elementary school massacre in his state left 19 children and two adults dead. Cruz, who is due to appear at a National Rifle Association convention this weekend, became incensed when pressed on gun laws and why mass shootings “only happen in America.” Cruz was attending a vigil for the victims of the Robb Elementary School shooting when he was grilled by Sky News reporter Mark Stone about overhauling gun laws in the U.S. The senator began by dismissing calls for reform by saying “It’s easy to go to politics.” He added: “The proposals the Democrats have? None of them would have stopped this.” (Cruz had earlier called to “harden schools” by fitting in new bulletproof glass and only having “one door into and out of the school” during a Fox News interview.) But when Stone asked why there was an “American exceptionalism” when it comes to mass shootings, Cruz decided to wrap things up in a hurry. “I’m sorry you think American exceptionalism is awful,” he said, patting the reporter on the chest, adding: “You know what? You’ve got your political agenda, God love you,” before walking away from the TV crew.”

If you’re heartbroken and frustrated after yesterday’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, you’re not alone. There are things Congress can do right now, Congress just refuses to do them.

Israeli Snipers Intentionally Murdered Al Jazeera Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh

After interviewing multiple eye-witnesses and on-scene bystanders, a CNN report has concluded that Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was purposefully shot by Israeli snipers. Almost 10 witnesses corroborated the same story about the sequence of events, saying that there was no gunfire prior to the sniper fire on Abu Akleh and her fellow journalists, with at least two witnesses saying they saw sniper rifles poking out of IDF vehicles towards the reporters.

“Several shots ring out in quick succession, cutting through a clear, blue spring morning in Jenin, in the West Bank. Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack. The cameraman filming the scene scrambles backwards to take cover behind a low concrete wall. Then a man cries out in Arabic: “Injured! Shireen, Shireen, oh man, Shireen! Ambulance!” When the camera operator pans around the corner, Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh can be seen lying motionless, face down on the ground as another Palestinian reporter, Shatha Hanaysha, crouches down beside her, using a tree trunk for cover. Hanaysha reaches out and tries to rouse her as gunshots continue. There’s no response. Both women are wearing helmets and blue protective vests marked “Press.” In the moments that follow, a man in a white T-shirt makes several attempts to move Abu Akleh, but is forced back repeatedly by gunfire. Finally, after a few long minutes, he manages to drag her body from the street. The shaky video, filmed by Al Jazeera cameraman Majdi Banura, captures the scene when Abu Akleh, a 51-year-old Palestinian-American was killed by a bullet to the head at around 6:30 a.m. on May 11. She had been standing with a group of journalists near the entrance of Jenin refugee camp, where they had come to cover an Israeli raid. While the footage does not show Abu Akleh being shot, eyewitnesses told CNN that they believe Israeli forces on the same street fired deliberately on the reporters in a targeted attack. All of the journalists were wearing protective blue vests that identified them as members of the news media.”
