U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, walked off on a British journalist after he was pressed about reforming gun laws, and asked why mass shootings happen so frequently in America.
The exchange happened two days after a gunman killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, making it the second-deadliest mass shooting at an elementary, middle or high school in U.S. history. Cruz was attending a vigil for the victims.
"There are 19 sets of parents who are never going to get to kiss their child good night again," Cruz began saying in a clip of the interview.
"Is this the moment to reform gun laws?" Sky News reporter Mark Stone asked the senator.

He lacks a moral core because if he did he would be deeply ashamed and adjust his attitude and behavior to be more prosocial.

All republicans, and imagine that. I'm sure this is just a political aberration, or is it?

This is about the question the reporter asked. So why don’t you answer it. You can’t because no matter what you say Someone will disagree and criticize you for your option. It like someone asking you; “ When was the last time you beat mother”? So go ahead what’s the answer.

MSG Roy Cheever - The reporter has valid questions. The reason Cancun cruz refuses to answer them probably has to do with the hundreds of thousands he has received from the gun lobby. And, when someone asks the last time I beat my mother I tell them yesterday.
