DeSantis: Kids Used To Bring Rifles To School In The 1950s And Therefore We Didn’t Have Mass Shootings

“This was [the Iowa shooter] somebody who was really hopped up on this gender ideology and you saw it in the profile, you know, the media doesn’t want to talk a lot about that because it doesn’t fit their narrative.

“Unfortunately, what you find through all this is like, I mean, the left will use some of this mental health stuff to advance the woke agenda. That’s a dead end. OK? When you’re talking about people that need help, you want that to be on the up and up.

“Back in like the forties and fifties, kids used to go to school and bring a rifle. I mean, yeah, I mean, like they would do that. And so, you know, it’s like you didn’t have this happening then when literally they’re bringing this to school.

“So what has happened since then?” – Ron DeSantis, who is among those most “hopped on this gender ideology,” speaking today at a Dubuque campaign rally alongside GOP reps Chip Roy and Thomas Massie.
