Sorry, but unlike Sanders, I think the Sandy Hook victims should be allowed to sue. nt

Using victims for political gain. How low will she go to win the nomination.

quotes are right in the article. Did she make him say those things?

(30,099 posts)8. I support the lawsuit and I am familiar with the law firm, they should not be
underestimated. But what the family really wanted was to see Obama's legislation
passed and Bernie supported it. The four Democrats who did not are the ones
to call out here.

...should be holding Bernie accountable for his words. They are hurting and they deserve to have their voices heard, rather that told to be quiet as indicated in the first response on this thread. Clearly that first response was attempting to sway the conversation by implying they do not deserve a voice during elections. But we need to remember, those families have been speaking out for a very long time. Well before Bernie announced his bid for the White House.

Tbis is a big deal here in NY.
