Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego pulled absolutely no punches in his response to the tragic mass shooting that happened at an Uvalde, Texas elementary school Tuesday afternoon, answering his colleagues' tweets of "thoughts and prayers" with aggressive and explicit language, even going so far as to call Texas Sen. Ted Cruz a "f--king baby killer."
Shortly after news broke of the shooting at Robb Elementary School, which has so far claimed the lives of 21 people, including 19 children, Gallego started his tweet storm with a simple message to the National Rifle Association: "F--k you @NRA." The organization is holding its annual conference this weekend in Houston, where speakers will include former President Donald Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and Cruz, who caught the brunt of Gallego's ire.
"F--k you @tedcruz you care about a fetus but you will let our children get slaughtered. Just get your ass to Cancun. You are useless."
