Senator Openly Admits Republicans Care More About Winning Than Stopping Mass Shootings
“I think we’re more interested in the red wave than we are in red flags, quite honestly,” said actual U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.).

The Senate reportedly has reached a bipartisan agreement on a weak-ass gun control compromise following horrific mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. The framework to which 10 Republican Senators agreed doesn’t include universal background checks or a national red-flag law, and it doesn’t ban AR-15s or even raise the age for people to purchase assault weapons. Instead, it would merely give money to states to implement their own red-flag laws, create an “enhanced review process” for gun buyers under 21, and earmark some more money for school safety.
Today, Republicans briefed their members on the negotiations during a caucus lunch, and HuffPost’s Igor Bobic tweeted that Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told reporters he had “concerns.” I mean, I have concerns about North Dakota having two Senators despite its population of less than 800,000 people, but I digress.
