On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” MSNBC host and Politico White House bureau chief Jonathan Lemire slammed Republicans for “not banning AR-15-style rifles. Even when it was one of the weapons that only got Donald Trump shot six weeks ago. Even then, there was no outcry from Republicans about changing it. And then 2024 Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) repeated the school shooting. Just dismissed as a fact of life, a sad fact of life, that these school shootings continue.”
“There is no widespread movement here to ban these weapons of war, these AR-15-style rifles,” Lemire said. Even then, when it was one of the weapons that shot Donald Trump just six weeks or so ago. Even then, there has been no clamor from Republicans to change it. In fact, we heard from JD Vance yesterday that it’s just a fact of life, a sad fact of life that these school shootings keep happening.”
Later in the segment, co-host Mika Brzezinski played a video of Vance pointing out that the “fact of life” Vance was referring to was the fact that psychopaths know that schools are soft targets, and that Vance advocated for better security in schools. “What’s going to solve this problem” when Vance said, “What’s going to solve this problem, and I really believe that, look, I don’t like this, I don’t like to accept this, I don’t. I don’t like that this is a fact of life.” , but if you’re a psychologist, and you want to make headlines, you’ll realize that our schools are soft targets, and we need to increase security in our schools, so that the person who walks through the front door – we have to increase security so that if If a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of kids, they’re not going to be able to.”
