Texas US senator Ted Cruz’s comment Saturday that he was “praying” for families of the eight victims killed in a shooting at a shopping mall in his state has sparked outrage as many critics say the Republican should advocate for meaningful gun control rather than repeatedly invoke prayer after mass, deadly violence.

In a statement Saturday afternoon, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) called the incident in Allen Texas Mall, an “unspeakable tragedy” and offered “the full support of the State of Texas to local officials to ensure all needed assistance and resources are swiftly deployed.” (Twitter)
Rafael Teddy Cruz, Greg Abbott, two Republicans, two men who are paid well by the NRA, two Texans, who by the grace of Gerrymandering and Voter Repression remain in office, two hypocrites, two as I see it accomplices to murder, two men who seem to care less about the lives of anyone who is not them, two repulsive people…are powerful enough to say and actually make, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, but refuse to do so because, their political ambitions, and their perceived personal gains!
Cruz must be praying to the same God, who he claimed visited his home way back when, when he said Jesus came and told his wife Heidi, and him, to run for President. Abbott, says it is an “unspeakable tragedy” because to speak of murder by weapons of war, would mean he actually understands that weapons of war, MURDER PEOPLE!
It becomes anyone’s guess when enough will actually be enough!
