A junior Democratic congressman walked out during a moment of silence Monday night for victims of this weekend’s mass shooting at a Texas church. In a Facebook post, the California representative Ted Lieu said he would not respect the victims in Texas because he’s too busy ensuring the destruction of gun rights.
In a video posted on Facebook Monday evening, California Rep. Ted Lieu said that he would not join his colleagues who were observing the moment of silence in the chambers of the House of Representatives. “I can’t do this again; I’ve been to too many moments of silences,” Lieu said in the video. “In just my short period in Congress, three of the worst mass shootings in us history have occurred. I will not be silent.”
“I urge us to pass reasonable gun safety legislation, including a universal background check law supported by 80 percent of Americans, a ban on assault rifles and a ban on bump stocks,” Lieu added.
Lieu had been vocal about his support for the destruction of rights on social media since the shooting occurred.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families affected by the mass shooting in Sutherland Springs,” he posted on Twitter Sunday. But just two hours later, after some of his followers objected to the measured nature of the tweet, Lieu decided to unload on the National Rifle Association instead.
Lieu has shown no sympathy or compassion for those who lost their lives. Instead, he’s doing what every Democrat has done after a mass shooting: use it as an excuse to punish those who have committed no crime by taking away their rights.
I agree my prior tweet could be better. So here: I pray for the victims in TX. Also, screw the @NRA & can you help Dems take back the House.

“I agree my prior tweet could be better,” Lieu tweeted. “So here: I pray for the victims in TX. Also, screw the @NRA & can you help Dems take back the House.”
Democrats show very little in the way of compassion after an atrocity, instead, they quickly seek the destruction of rights – especially gun rights. Maybe it’s a burr in their side that gun owners, for the most part, won’t vote for a Democrat.
PASS YOUR BAN, THEN YOU PERSONALLY COME N GET EM!
BRING YOUR OWN BODY BAG YOU STUPID DEMOCRAT TURD
He Probably has his Head up his Butt during the NATIONAL ANTHEM too !
This a a traitor.
Menzo, I just might put his picture on a couple of targets for the range this weekend.
I’d love to stomp his eyes shut.
Menzo, are you offering me some suggestons? LOL.
The day will come
Menzo, damn right it will.
This is a red line they don’t want to cross. Not one more inch!
Yeah, but all dems are traitors too!! Every last single one of em….and all Communists. They hate this country. They want to take away all our freedoms. What little freedom do we have left? Camera’s everywhere! That’s not a free country. No, we are hanging on by a thread, and the last thing tptb want to do is to take away ALL the guns and then we will have total Tyranny!! Never turn in your guns…hide or bury them first, and make sure they are sealed tight in pvc pipe. And make sure they are buried near a metal barn, shed or old car or tire rims so they metal detectors will not pick them up. I believe there WILL come a time in the future it will come to this. Take away all the guns like they took away all the books in the movie Farinheight (sp) 451.
Nailbanger, I love how you always nail it. Same with Braveheart. Braveheart would be only too happy to take on that slant-eyed gook in a fight and send him to the emergency room. From this day forward I’m calling the antigun lobby the ANTI-SELF DEFENSE LOBBY since that’s what they’re really about. They have no problem standing up for criminals and other evildoers. I won’t have any problem neutralizing them when the civil war begins.
The “gooks” were the good guys we were fighting for in ‘nam. The “cong” were the bad ones. Of all the immigrants to the USA in recent times the Vietnamese have been at the top of the list for becoming good citizens.
Relax this is what we engineers call a self correcting problem. He comes to get my gun he’s no longer a problem.
What a miserable excuse for a human being. There are enough laws on the books regarding guns, it appears in this case the shooter should not have been able to purchase a gun in the first place. After his court martial and incarceration his record was not forwarded to the database that would have prevented the purchase. Years ago I remember all my relatives having guns, rarely heard of mass shootings. It seems society’s dependence on drugs, both prescription and illegal may be contributing to this.
I hate to say it this way; but, he’s an elected legislator from…. California. Furthermore, he doesn’t have hundreds of years of being an American. He and his family (Mother/Father) immigrated here when he was 3 years old. What scares me is that he’s in the U.S. Air Force Reserve as a Colonel (formerly active service). If this traitorous bastard cannot even shut his Taiwanese yap and bow his head for a moment of silence to respect dead Americans…. it is not only disrespect that is the issue; rather, possible betrayal in his choices within our military. I’d say first muster him out of the service with a dishonorable; then, consider an alteration to our immigration policy as regards children of those who enter our country as just being ‘grand-fathered’ citizenship in the first place.
Preaching to the quire here, but the Liberals are screwed up. If they want to ban guns cuz “guns kill” then they should also ban all cars, trucks, knives, forks, baseball bats, etc cuz those can kill too. They just don’t make any sense at all. If ALL the guns were gone, the crooks would still get “illegal” guns or kill someone by a knife or run people over with a truck/car. The murders will not stop just becuz all guns are banned, and then WE have a much harder time protecting ourselves, and by the way…you all should pick up a good Crossbow for hunting before they are banned too!!
was he in office when the San Bernardino shootings occurred???
good chance he was step-in-step with Obammy with the Muslim cover-up operation – that terrorist attack didn’t fit well with the agenda ….
Screw Lieu too!
This asshat needs to get a different job. Come on Americans don’t reelect stupid fools like this.
Hahahahahahahaha….. The classic example of one of humanities lowest denominators.
Biggest H8TERS on the planet is, in fact, the left.
The Left hates everything Good, they hate God, they hate the nuclear family, they hate “normal” people, they hate Truth. They love everything sick and perverted……
How can people respect a man like “Lieu” when he wont respect the people that lost their lives. This man doesn’t belong in a position representing people that voted for him. He is in
my opinion no better them a child molester.
Fighting for loss of our freedoms, says a lot but when cries help
he wants the police to come with their guns to protect him.
Listen you slant eyed dog eating chink if it wasn’t for OUR rights your grandfather would still be picking rice for the emperor!!! F OFF you statue worshiping nipp!!!
Amen, fuck that shitty cat eating mother fucking dink!
Godless people commit godless acts.
Prayers to those who lost friends and family.
Foremost on my mind today is the safety of my friends and family.
I will not comply.
One hundred million plus gun owners in the USA but because of the actions of 4 or 5 NUTS you want to punish all! Right!
How can anyone be SO STUPID?
It is ALREADY ILLEGAL TO kill and murder. How many criminals do you know that give a hoot about the LAW ???
I think the answer lies in taking a hard line on criminals and law breakers.
When LAWS become UNJUST, Just People must become OUTLAWS !!
Only way to get criminals to understand the law is to make punishment harsher. You kill – you die. No Life Sentences (3 squares, tv time, gym time) Other criminals – Chain Gang. We have too much of America that really needs to be cleaned up, infrastructure repaired, etc. that they can do.
It has been my belief that when you kill someone – you GET killed by the System – the same exact way you murdered someone. So if you shoot someone in the head – you get shot in the head. If you chop off someones head – you get Your head chopped off. If you stab someone to death with a knife to their stomach – you get killed the same way….you poison someone you get poisoned. You strangle someone you get strangled…and all this is done in PUBLIC for all to see, so in time people will not commit such horrible murders cuz they don’t want to die that way if caught. Oh, and you run someone over with a car or truck – you get run over the same way too. In time people who want to murder will resort to giving others sleeping pills cuz that’s a nicer way to die if they get caught. Oh, no, but we are too “civilized” to do that. But yet the whole human race are barbarians still. I think this plan would work out very nicely. And it would empty the prisons too. Why should we house and feed them for 50 years?
Ted Lieu, what a disgrace to the office and the country.
This shooting would have been much worse if two legally permitted Americans, licensed to carry, had not come forward and confronted the shooter, Devin Patrick Kelly, with force.
The police are always last on the scene. This shooting is the fault of the military, who are too busy being the biggest guns crazies abroad to look after their veterans in crisis right here at “home.”
Blamey, the Ted Lieus of this world have their day coming and it won’t end well for them.
Their compassion and care for the implementation of their Marxist/communist agenda is overwhelming. In it they forego their shared humanity…
When did it become ok to refuse to grieve for the tragic deaths of so many who died so horribly? “There Is A Time To Mourn…”. Then, comes the time to rise up in righteous indignation.
Lieu is a worthless piece of waste. His opinions are just as worthless as he is. Whoever told him that he was special lied to him. Even the other Democrats should be ashamed of him and his total lack of respect for the innocents who have been murdered.
Typical sh*tstain libtard reaction to a tragedy.
Another Democrat fills his pants for public display. What a classy fellow.
Fritz,
I defy anybody on this site to name one nationally
known or elected Democrat that has any “Class”.
Democrat politicians are a reflection of the
lowest of the low, morally and ethically challenged
parts of our population.
Relik: VERY good point my friend!
The democrats are all pond scum and the worst of the worst!!
Hello rellik,
Thanks for replying. I think we agree on that and many other things. You sure do pose one good stumper of a challenge though. I dunno … Harry Truman? I can’t think of one in my lifetime. Lol
he needs to be primaried .
This guy is a traitor by self incrimination! In order to serve in his position, he had to swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution! Now he is making public statements that he plans on destroying the Second Amendment which is one of the foundations that protects not only this document but all our Freedoms! If he feels so strongly about a position, first he has to stop insulting the Public which he was nominated by to represent them and secondly he needs to resign in protest to something he can no longer represent! Now once he does this, he is then free to move to another Country that has laws and a government that represents his interests more, say North Korea!
An Asian in American politics. Major turnoff right there for me. Another kiss up to catch up crony capitalist.
Here is the man who stopped the TX shooting, in his OWN words.
Steven Crowder (born in Canada!) ALWAYS does a great job. Here is the man who stopped the shooting in his own words. https://youtu.be/B4HEchh0XD8?t=191 37 minutes. I am listening as I work in the background.
Wonder if the powers that be will try to get to him and shelve his testimony. Unfortunately, this is already OUT now. Note that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will (still) have guns. Here is an armed man who stopped the shooting – exactly as former gun control advocate, now gun supporter Dr. John Lott of Univ. of Chicago wrote in his book More Guns, Less Crime, wrote.
I think that if the shooter wasn’t stopped by the two hero’s he could/would have shot up the whole church and killed every last person there., so it shows that a GOOD gun CAN stop a bad gun….or rather a good person can stop a bad person. This was Texas so why didn’t more people at church have their guns drawn? I bet a lot of em left em in their trucks. Nope, from now on carry in church cuz we are not safe anywhere anymore.
If anyone is suggesting a police state everywhere. I can’t buy into that.
That reminds me of Israel where
weapons are around every corner….every citizen is a guard.
What happened to respect of others like the 1940’s mindset?
When the war was over and people were just happy to be alive?
Our culture has changed.
Changed by Liberal ideology, NWO, Communism, and entertainment.
Use and sale of all kinds of drugs, alcohol, sex (casual, multiple),
profanity, disrespect everyone, hate, racism, killing everyone,
cheating, broken families, male bashing, women libers, unwed-pregnancies,
abortions, “shacking up”, (instead of marriage), multiple divorces,
all PROMOTED in music, entertainment, movies and television.
Most of these “problems” rarely existed in polite society before the 1950’s.
(except….maybe, in the ghetto’s.)
I think it’s a good idea like in Israel for everyone to have a gun. I think less crime then, and others around to protect the other people. I don’t think a shooter would go in a school knowing that every single school teacher had a gun, or rather an AK47!! No more shootings in school. Now they are just sitting ducks…..
Pack your bags and go live in North Korea, what a shameful display from a shameful human being. Teddy Lieu, leave the RED WHITE and BLUE, you don’t belong here. Again, go live in North Korea.
HANG that simple fucking gook chink mutt!
Too many “gun control” people will only stop with “gun confiscation” where only the police and military have the weapons. They intend to get it a bit at a time; kind of like eating an elephant (a bite at a time). Any concession only encourages them to push for more.
I respect his right to his opinion based on the bill of rights…Perhaps he should read them. While he is at it he should read the Deceleration of Independence to see the real reason for the 2nd…Now before you guy’s flame me…This wonderful human being should get exactly what he deserves as “soon” as possible!
Excuse me I have to go puke!
The first paragraph summed it up, California!!
You are disgusting. Your callous attitude to the lost over a political cause is sickening.
TURD!
I presume this sleazy little turd has an armed security detail pays for by US taxpayers.
Mid you he will probably need it
He’s a despicable POS.
Well now, 1. “junior”, 2. Dem., 3. Rep., 4. CA, 5. doesn’t comprehend the definition of an “assault rifle”….just knows pictures that look like a gun, not the nomenclature, 6. zipper-head, he needs to run into an Oathkeeper or Freedom Riders’ fist, in a dark alley, so his fucking mouth is wired shut, and break all his fingers so he can’t write, type, etc………..and then if he pulls this shit again, join the other 90% who are in Congress, who need to be ornaments on light posts……or better yet, drop him off in rural TX, wearing a thong, and he’ll get a lift, fur’ sure!
Just another Mao bolshevik.
Someone tell this imbecilic ass that there are already through back ground checks. It was an Air Force fuck up that gave the killer his guns. Sorry muthafuc
Like Ted Lieu said “reasonable gun safety legislation, including a universal background check law supported by 80 percent of Americans” Only one problem here. 80 percent of Americans don’t support it. If he can’t get his 80 percent, it isn’t going to happen. Even if he did get 80 percent, it isn’t going to happen because it is un-constitutional. Even if they ban guns it still is not going to happen.
Meh… yeah he’s another communist. never letting a crisis go to waste.
It is the LIBERAL MSM & Entertaiment. Movies & Video Games, that romanticize violence.
Why let the MSM that is the cause of the violence ,,,,, set the discourse ?
The MSM IS the cause of the violence.
It is not “GUN” violence it is MSM-PROFITEER violence.
It is the deliberate destruction of the CULTURE that is at fault. Now who has been corroding Christian values for decades? Who has been PROFITING off glorifying violence? Who has been “teaching” that you can commit murder with NO Consequences?
CULTURAL VIOLENCE
Who has polluted the American “Mayberry” culture with “THUG GANGSTA” songs, games, movies, that glorify violence and promote violence with NO consequences, as the ONLY way to deal with problems?! Yes, WHO ?
It is the CULTURE, STUPID ….. What has been done to Our culture by Media interested in PROFIT and “SOCIAL ENGINEERING” (just WHAT are they “engineering”?) NOT in creating a solid prosperous SOCIETY. WHO indeed?
MEDIA-ASSAULT-THOUGHTS. There is no action that is not preceded by the thought and idea of the action, and MSM has immersed America in violent anti-social thoughts. and been publicly proud and boastful of their ANTI-heroes. The immersion of a society in the thoughts and ideas of senseless violence unaccompanied by consequences. The flooding of Media venues such as music, movies, video games, TV, with thoughts and ideas designed to induce violent behavior. If purveying ideas through the media does not work ….. why are $BILLIONS spent every year on advertising and political propaganda if spreading “thoughts” does not matter?!?! Hillary is spending $HUNDREDS of MILLION$ on ADVERTIZING to try to INFLUENCE ACTIONS.
What are the anti-Freedom activists doing except SPREADING anti-gun THOUGHTS hoping they will lead to ACTIONS?

Where are the MANDATORY firearms safety classes for Children? “They” insist mandatory sex education is indispensable.
They sure are obsessed with CHILD SEX but have no concern for CHILD SAFETY.
To protect YOUR child …….ALL children should be vaccinated?????? WELL ……
To protect YOUR child …….ALL children should be firearm educated.
………… Our “Great Educators” push MANDATORY sex education in all schools as the cure for teenage pregnancy and STDs among the young. Where are their strident voices demanding FIREARM SAFETY EDUCATION in all schools !?
