Gun Control Likely To Dominate 2020 Race As Democratic Candidates Blast Republicans For Inaction, Inflammatory Rhetoric

“Every time this happens, we say never again. We say we’re going to do something. We say it’s going to change and it hasn’t,” Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., said. “At the end of the day, without political change, I don’t know that we’ll get the solutions we need. But if this doesn’t do it, I don’t know what will.” Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman from El Paso, and Rep. Tim Ryan from Ohio both went after President Donald Trump, claiming he is a white nationalist. Ryan pointed to a Trump rally held in May during which someone from the audience yelled “shoot them!” when the president asked how to stop the flood of illegal immigrants. Trump didn’t issue a rebuke, and instead joked that “that’s only in the Panhandle [where] you can get away with that statement.”
