White House Official Says Shooting Was a ReprieveA White House official told the Washington Post that the mass shooting as a Florida school last week gave a White House struggling with a domestic abuse scandal a break.
Said the official: For everyone, it was a distraction or a reprieve. A lot of people here felt like it was a reprieve from seven or eight days of just getting pummeled But as we all know, sadly, when the coverage dies down a little bit, well be back through the chaos.

They are sick and depraved, the whole lot of them.

It also seems to say that they are immune to pummeling on mass murder gun issues.
