Endorse This! Colbert Rips Cruz For This Stupid Solution To School Shootings

Late Show Host Stephen Colbert Rips Into Ted Cruz On Guns

As we learn more and more about the horrible details surrounding the deadly school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, we get to see all the feckless Republicans do the old song and dance on guns.
