Country music superstar John Rich was not impressed with Vice President Kamala Harris’s empty words and turned the tables on Harris as she made her way to Nashville Tennessee. Kamala gave a speech and met with a pair of state lawmakers who were expelled from the General Assembly after protesting on the state House floor.
But it was what she didn’t do that outraged Rich. He said:
“Hey @VP why didn’t you make an effort to meet with the Christian families from Covenant school while you were in Music City? You were less than a 15 minute drive away from that location. Your word salad rings hollow.“
Kamala said
“Today, I stood with parents, students, and the Tennessee Three. They won’t be silenced and their demands for gun reform must be heard. In Congress and in state legislatures around our nation, leaders must have the courage to act.
“And they understood the importance, these three, of standing to say the people will not be silenced, to say that a democracy hears the cries, hears the pleas, who hears the demands of its people who say that children should be able to live and be safe and go to school and not be in fear.
“We understand when we took an oath to represent the people who elected us that we speak on behalf of them.
It wasn’t about the three of these leaders. It was about who they were representing. it’s about whose voices they were channeling. Understand that – and is that not what a democracy allows.”
Biden said:
“Rather than debating the merits of the issue, these Republican lawmakers have chosen to punish, silence, and expel duly-elected representatives of the people of Tennessee.
“A strong majority of Americans want lawmakers to act on commonsense gun safety reforms that we know will save lives.
“But instead, we’ve continued to see Republican officials across America double down on dangerous bills that make our schools, places of worship, and communities less safe.”
