The Texan senator Ted Cruz writes from the Britse reporter Mark Stone, VS correspondent for Sky News, that week there will be shooting parties in Uvalde, that 19 children and two people will be expected to do so in the VS. Is this the moment when you wake up, do you see Stone on a wake? With national polls, there is always a large amount of difference between the Americans and the result.
“Weet je, het is makkelijk om naar de politiek te kijken. I understand that that is what the media wants,” says Cruz. According to the Senator, he said that “from Democrats in the media, on average, there was no other known psychopath”.
The 18-year-old Schutter in Uvalde kon wel makkelijk aan aanvalswapens geraken, Stone remarked op.
‘Why avenues in America?’
“Maar what many people were not able to live: were there grandchildren in America? Waarom is the American exceptionalism so complicated”, drong Stone aan.
“Weet je, het spijt met dat je Amerikaans exceptionalisme schrikkelijk vindt. You raise your political agenda”, says Cruz, which is handen to the schouders of the reporter legde. “god love you”, and away was the republic.
Stone and a collega-reporter gaven real niet op: “I will understand what is happening and not know what the problem is in America. Why is America het some country that soort massaschietpartijen voortbrengt?” Stone again: “You can’t answer that, of course?”
Waarop Cruz nog een keer omkeerde, and close to the reporter aanleunde. “Why is that mensen van over heels that were coming to America? Omdat het het meest vrije, meest welvarende en most veilige land op aarde is”, aldus de Texaan. “En bespaar me de propaganda”, besloot Cruz alvorens te trekken.
Donderdag publiceerde de nieuwssite Axios een lijst met the largest ontvangers in het huidige Congres van donaties van de wapenlobby. Cruz stond bovenaan met 442,000 dollars donaties aan campagneorganisaties of de drawnaamde PAC’s (political action committees). Volgens Axios zijn de cijfers nog veel hoger than indirect bijdragen been considered, so as de Amerikaanse wapenlobby the advertenties court aan tegenstanders aankoopt.
