    Ehhhh sometimes it goes too far. I remember one time he commented after a mass shooting that, uhm ackshually the flu kills more people than mass shootings so why are you all upset? It was pretty offensive.

      I wouldn’t call it offensive. It’s factual. It is insensitive. It’s not thinking of those that died and their families.

        I would consider it offensive to belittle the murder of children/adults just because diseases kill more people. That’s such a smooth brain take, and is honestly something I’d expect to come out of a Republican politician.
