“I ask you, Mitch McConnell, and ask all of you Senators who refuse to do anything about the violence, the school shootings, the supermarket shootings, I ask you: Are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children, our elderly, and our churchgoers? Because that’s what it looks like. That’s what we do every week. I’m fed up, I’ve had enough…
“Fifty Senators in Washington are going to hold us hostage. Do you realize 90 percent of Americans, regardless of political party, want universal background checks? We’re being held hostage by 50 senators in Washington who refuse to even put it to a vote, despite what we, the American people, want. They won’t vote on it, because they want to hold onto their own power. It’s pathetic. I’ve had enough.”
Of course, mandatory background checks have been federal law for decades now but, Kerr is in Outrageously Outrageous Outrage mode, so, facts do not matter, only Kerr’s emotions and, of course virtue signaling because LOOK AT YOU, Right Coach? Interesting it really is though that recently, school safety was not that big a deal for the little outraged man. As Cortney Weil of The Outkick notes
Kerr may have expressed exasperation about this latest outbreak of violence, but as our Clay Travis points out, just two years ago he advocated for abolishing police in schools, a policy that would have put more school children in danger if it had been implemented.
In 2020, Kerr stood in solidarity with groups like Black Lives Matter and called for Oakland Unified School District to defund its police force. He argued that instead of law enforcement, the district should invest in more counselors, librarians, and teachers.
Of course, no media member bothered to call Steve Kerr out on this duplicity. Of course not!
