Another high-profile shooting, another shameless attempt by Moms Demand Actions’ Shannon Watts to exploit a tragedy for her own political purposes.
In her latest endeavor to tie in a shooting generating national headlines to a supposed need for more gun laws, the Watts is blaming Gov. Glenn Youngkin for the Sunday night shooting on the University of Virginia campus that left three students dead and two others injured.
According to Watts, this tragedy wouldn’t have taken place if only Youngkin had done “something” on gun control in his first year in office. Youngkin, a Republican, has faced criticism following the shooting for prioritizing other issues, such as combating critical race theory in schools and bolstering parental rights, over gun control.
