Did he though?

He’s sitting on the fence

“All that is needed for evil to prevail is for enough good people to do nothing.” Beto’s action today wasn’t a political stunt it was someone good not doing nothing. What the fuck are you people doing that is different and that will make a difference? Tell me?

Thanks for your mealy-mouthed utterance. That’ll certainly move the conversation forward….

Uvalde native, actor Matthew McConaughey says re-evaluation needed after school shootingThe Oscar winning actor said in a Tweet Tuesday night that Americans have failed to be responsible for the rights that Americans have been given. No, the time for evaluation is over. Now is the time to act. Ban assault rifles. As usual, McConaughey pretends to say something deep while actually saying nothing. Re-evaluation is just postponing action and allowing more mass shootings. After all this time, we know what needs to be done - so just do it already! Universal background checks is a start. I thought he was from the Piney Woods.

Matthew McConaughey says 'we must do better' after massacre in his hometown of UvaldeMatthew McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde where at least 21 people were killed Tuesday, described gun violence as an 'epidemic we can control.' Because it is something we can control. Its just bad for NRAs bottom line and GQP senators are all bought by them. So the crocodile tears for slaughtered children will continue with no real action. We really are a 💩hole country.
