"SNIP..........
What a disgrace. This Rep. should be ashamed of himself. You're a member of Congress, for crying out loud.
.......
Ted Lieu ✔@tedlieu
Dear @SarahPalinUSA: Feel free to call me names because I'm cool like that. But I will keep fighting for gun safety. Unlike you I don't quit

Lieu went on Facebook during the moment of silence to let America know what he thought of the whole no-talk, no-action show being put on by his fellow representatives.
"My colleagues right now are doing a moment of silence," he said during a Facebook Live from the hallway. "I respect their right to do that and I myself have participated in many of them. But I can't do this again. I've been to too many moments of silences. Just in my short career in Congress, three of the worst mass shootings in US history have occurred. I will not be silent. What we need is we need action, we need to pass gun safety legislation now."
Now all that remains is for Palin to give Air Force veteran Lieu a lecture on patriotism.
...........SNIP"

In rehearsals for the debate,
she kept calling him O'Biden

(7,813 posts)Anyone remember how she disapproved of how he degraded Gold Star families and POWs? His approval of nazis? How he bragged about how he could get away with sexual assault? His financial dealings with hostile countries? Feel free to insert your outrage of choice.
She's a wet bag of idiocy.

I only wish he'd been born here in America........but he wasn't.
However, there are many ways to serve our Country and he undoubtedly will find them.

(11,843 posts)The GOP should have regularly scheduled Moments of Inaction - Mass shooting take place often enough and Moments of Inaction have no effect whatsoever.
