        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.

            it’d work if it was just used to point out that WE NEED WELL FUNDED UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE

            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.
