What you have in Senator Murphy is someone who has a heart and also has the mind to try and fix this problem, and hasn’t forgotten why he’s there, to try and keep the people of his state and of the country safe and do what it takes to protect our children. And, on the other hand -- and you hear it in his clinical voice, his distance, his distant tone -- what you have in Ted Cruz is someone who’s not the least bit interested today in trying to make this situation better, but is just parroting the NRA talking points. He’s bought and paid for by the National Rifle Association.
