Former Sen. Bob Kerrey: Arizona Shooter Was Angry About Health Care Reform
Former Senator Bob Kerrey called into Imus in the Morning and said although Congress should postpone business temporarily as a result of the Arizona shooting, to do so for much longer would not be a good idea. Also despite the investigation not yet revealing the killer’s true motives, Kerrey did not hesitate to offer up some speculation.
Kerrey suggested:
“Tomorrow they were going to vote to repeal this health care bill, and well it’s not going to go anywhere in the Senate, it’s one of the reasons that this guy was angry and pretty obvious that he http://twitter.com/andylevy/status/24589778448023552is, at least from me, from where I sit that he’s mentally ill and deeply troubled. I wouldn’t make too much of whatever his political views are.”
It seems like Kerrey thinks the shooter was partially angry because the Senate was not going to allow repeal of the health care bill. Or maybe Kerrey was saying he’s angry that health care is being repealed since the shooter is mentally ill and would have wanted to benefit from it? Either way, Kerrey can’t possibly know what made the shooter angry enough to go on a rampage because right now no one knows. Therefore, if Kerrey has no clue why the shooter was angry, why assume anything about health care was “one of the reasons?”
