If a gaffe is defined as accidentally telling the truth, then Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania just committed a gaffe. Here he is, explaining why his amendment to create universal background checks for gun purchases couldn’t get 60 votes.
“In the end it didn’t pass because we’re so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it,” Toomey admitted on Tuesday in an interview with Digital First Media editors in the offices of the Times Herald newspaper in Norristown, Pa.
Why are his colleagues so petulant?
“I would suggest the administration brought this on themselves. I think the president ran his re-election campaign in a divisive way. He divided Americans. He was using resentment of some Americans toward others to generate support for himself.”
Oh, right, the president asked rich people to pay a little more in taxes. I forgot.
So, more gun violence for everyone!!
These people are moral lepers.
