Protect the schools like we protect congress

[Sirruinous]

Kamala: “it doesnt have to be this way”
Trump: “a deranged monster”
News reporter: “he didnt mention anything on how to combat gun violence, Kamala discussed her plan to help small businesses”

This is why the media is a joke.

[Arrrturrrooo]

It's sick that we live in a country where this is the norm.

[DixiNormus]

She had 4 years to change this country for the better do we really want another 4 years of this BS

[mrsandmom]

Condemn the shootings in Chicago… but no.. we know why

[byronjones]

says the woman surrounded and protected by people carrying guns

[gillianorley]

They comment that Trump made no mention of how to end gun violence, but they didn’t show Harris mention it either. Yet, they failed to comment on that. I guess only Trump gets that comment from the news media.

[KyleHarrison-iy]

So they both condemned him but we're going to put Kamala in the headline

[JT.]

Interesting how it's conveniently her that's front and center these days and not the current sitting president....what a clown show.

[AlainRamnauth]

Ma'am. You are the vice president. What are YOU doing about the school shootings?

[badtolz]

"When I get into office...."

[cjtart]

imagine clicking on a video to see kamala speak on a school shooter and you get her economic ideas what a joke

[americanpatriot]

Yet, she never mentions cities like chicago in that regard.

[PanhandleFrank]

The Apalachee High School shooting was stopped within 2 minutes when school resource officers confronted the shooter and he surrendered.

But Kamala Harris wants cops OUT of schools?! Why? Because """racism"""!!

“Being incarcerated for a couple of days is traumatic, much less the weeks, months and years that we’re seeing that happen. And so, part of my plan is also a reduction of that. And then also, again, what we need to do about taking — demilitarizing [?!] our schools and taking police officers out of schools. [applause] We need to deal with the reality and speak the truth about the inequities around school discipline.”~ Kamala Harris, 2019 Presidential Justice Forum, Benedict College S.C.

Meanwhile, Kamala-Walz are convinced that the solution to school shootings is to take semi-automatic rifles away from NON-CRIMINALS??

[godvandamme]

Her and her buzz words. Im sick of the empty political jargon. Her actions speak louder than her words. And we can all see the actions.

[jurgenvietinghoff]

I condemn the Press for giving her a free pass

[dove]

Talk is cheap. She has been the VP of the US and has done nothing to make things better.

[MelodyFarris]

If your a gun owner with kids then you should be held responsible for making sure that your guns are secured. Add to the fact that the parents of this 14 year old were notified about a school shooting threat that their son made last year and still apparently did not secure their firearms. If thats the case then there should be charges brought up on the parents as well. Gun ownership comes with responsibility

[tammypadilla]

What is Harris doing about it now ! She is VP so she can work on that now not latter like the border !!!

[glennshrom]

The report points out that Trump didn't mention how to address gun violence, but then again, neither did Harris.
