Tucker looks at the latest gun control bill the Senate Republicans are supporting without reading. Highlights include:
“Yesterday, just a few hours after the text of this gun confiscation bill was released, the Senate voted on it, just a few hours. Why? Well, John Cornyn said there was simply no time to allow anyone to read the bill, even people voting on it, or to try to understand what was in it.”
“A reporter last night overheard John Cornyn, again a senator from Texas, a Republican, say this, and we’re quoting, ‘It’s only 80 pages long, how long do you need to read it?’”
“This is grotesque. Under ordinary circumstances you would just assume, as always, these people live in their own hermetically sealed world. They have no contact with reality, they have no idea how out of step they are. But given the context of this moment, you have to interpret it differently.”
“What you just saw was effectively a speech in support of Joe Biden by a leader in a party whose job it is to offer an alternative to Joe Biden.”
“We’re shoveling another $100 million to the FBI, the personal police department of Joe Biden, the people who saved his son from a drug charge. Then there’s nearly $1 billion in order to bribe the states to ‘implement and manage’ these so-called ‘red flag laws.’ Now, these laws allow authorities to seize firearms from people who have committed no crimes. That’s a violation of due process, it’s unconstitutional, but the Republican party is all for it.”
“Would any of these measures have stopped the mass shootings in Buffalo or Uvalde? No.”
“This bill is completely unconnected from what happened in Buffalo or Uvalde. This is merely Joe Biden’s agenda. Even Keven McCarthy of California has refused to support it. So here you have Mitch McConnell, the lead Republican in the Senate, partnering with Chuck Schumer, the lead Democrat in the Senate, picking John Cornyn to carry the message, and getting it done before anyone can even read the bill.”
“It’s not simply a betrayal of Republican voters. It’s much more. It’s a declaration of war against Republican voters, in fact against voters.”
