Democrats wasted no time exploiting the tragic deaths of two students and two teachers after a . Almost everything they’re spewing is either wrong, absurd or downright offensive.

It鈥檚 as if they鈥檙e sitting by their computers with pre-written, Mad Libs-style statements, just waiting to plug in the name of the latest school. The moment there’s news of a shooting, they pounce. They don’t bother waiting for any real details because the only one they care about is a gun was involved.

Meanwhile, pundits on radio, TV and in print perform their predictable and oddly selective outrage. Where鈥檚 this passion when grandmas in Seattle are murdered in carjackings, kids in Chicago are gunned down on the streets, or illegal immigrants commit heinous acts of rape and murder? Apparently, those tragedies aren鈥檛 politically useful enough to earn left-wing outrage.

“We can鈥檛 go on like this. Congress must take action,” Squad grandmother and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) immediately tweeted, not telling us the action though she means gun bans.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) weighed in on X, immediately blaming Republicans for the shooting: “It is simply not asking too much to demand that Republicans work with Democrats to pass commonsense gun safety laws.”

Which common sense gun laws would have prevented this shooting? She doesn’t say because what she hopes for isn’t common sense.

Are Democrats lying about gun violence stats after the Georgia school shooting?

Easily, the most egregious and disingenuous statement came from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT). These statements 补濒飞补测蝉听come from Murphy, a ghoul who hasn’t met a school shooting he wasn’t willing to shamelessly use to get on television.

“It’s not as if we don’t know what to do,” Murphy said on MSNBC. “We know what to do. It’s just states like Georgia run by Republicans, run by Donald Trump-supporting Republicans choose to do nothing because they care about the gun industry more than they care about the health of our kids.”

Because he’s a deeply dishonest man who preys on fear, he went on to falsely claim that “the AR-15 that is literally designed to assassinate as many people as quickly as possible.”

Of course, he also used this tragedy to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Mass shootings are actually down this year compared to last year,” he said. “I know it doesn鈥檛 feel that way but it鈥檚 true because we passed a law two years ago with Kamala Harris鈥檚 support that makes it a little bit harder for bad people to get their hands on guns. Donald Trump says he鈥檚 going to go backwards to the days where we had even fewer protections for our kids. So it鈥檚 just a choice. You want to stop these mass shootings, you got Kamala Harris who says she鈥檚 going to make this a priority, you got Donald Trump who says that he鈥檚 going to put the profits of the industry first.”

As always, he’s arguing in bad faith.

There were fewer mass shootings under Donald Trump than Kamala Harris

Think about the absurdity of Chris Murphy鈥檚 argument: if you want fewer mass shootings like the one in Georgia this week, vote for Kamala Harris 鈥� who is already in office, presiding over the current surge in violence.

Democrats and the Harris campaign have been bending over backward to distance themselves from their own administration because their policies are so deeply unpopular, but this is a weird claim. Meanwhile, Murphy hopes that you don鈥檛 bother to check the stats. He鈥檚 banking on the fact that no one will notice the glaring inconsistency in pushing for re-election when their track record on violence is a complete disaster.

There were (as defined by four or more victims killed or injured in a single shooting event) under former president Donald Trump than under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Under Trump, was 1,706. So far, under Biden and Harris, it’s 2,349. If not for the Radical Left passing their so-called “criminal justice reforms,” Trump’s numbers would have been even lower.

These stats even use a deceptive definition by left-wing meant to inflate the number of mass shootings so we can pass more gun restrictions. Ironically, it’s Democrats who are now suffering from the misleading data because of the surge of gang violence under Democrat leadership. But gangs shooting each other is hardly what the American people think of when you mention a mass shooting. And this kind of crime requires different solutions than a mentally ill person stealing a gun and using it to irrationally exact revenge or express grievance.

After defunding police, releasing criminals from jail en-masse, ending cash bail, and purposefully going easy on even violent offenders, violence skyrocketed in 2020. The violence was driven by cities run by Progressives who embraced the reforms the most.听Under Biden and Harris, those stats continued.听But even when you take into account the violence caused by left-wing policies, Trump has a better record on mass shootings.

Democrat arguments on gun violence don’t make much sense

Murphy and other disingenuous Democrats love to claim that under Trump, the gun industry was running the show, loosening gun control laws wherever they could. If that were true, you鈥檇 think Democrats might start rethinking their talking points about how their gun control laws are supposed to reduce gun violence.

How is it that there were fewer mass shootings under supposedly looser gun laws, but now, under more restrictive gun laws, gun violence has surged? Even locally, in Seattle 鈥� a city with some of the strictest gun laws and a deeply anti-gun culture 鈥� we saw the highest number of homicides in history.

Gun violence in Seattle and King County has skyrocketed since 2020. Are we really supposed to blame Republicans for that? A party with zero power in Seattle or King County? Are there secret MAGA Republicans pulling the strings that we just don鈥檛 know about?

Maybe, just maybe, gun laws aren鈥檛 the deciding factor in gun violence. But Democrats can鈥檛 admit that because it would shift the spotlight to their own disastrous, soft-on-crime policies. Policies that have turned Biden and Harris’s America into a crime-ridden mess. Instead of being honest and saving lives, Democrats double down, pretending they care more about lives than Republicans while pushing policies that clearly result in more violence. And they’re not ashamed to exploit dead children and teachers to deceive the public into supporting their agenda.
