Republicanism: Republican senate candidate Billy Long (missouri) blames women having rights for mass violence in the Country
Quote
Obviously, the competition is fierce. But that didn’t scare Missouri representative and Senate candidate Billy Long, who rolled up to Wednesday’s interview with a local radio station with—and excuse the phrase though we assume he’ll appreciate it—the big guns. Asked by host Branden Rathert if “Is there any appetite in D.C. amongst Republicans to look at doing some things differently as it relates to guns,” Long responded that “No one has been able to come up with any kind of suggestion that would have helped in any of these situations”— fact-check: false!— and that passing gun control measures is not the solution to the epidemic of gun violence. “Unfortunately, they’re trying to blame inanimate objects for all of these tragedies,” he said. Then he added: “When I was growing up in Springfield, you had one or two murders a year. Now we have two, three, four a week in Springfield, Missouri, so something has happened to our society and I go back to abortion. When we decided it was okay to murder kids in their mother’s wombs, life has no value to a lot of these folks.”
