MSNBC’s Katy Tur Invites Analyst to Find GOP ‘Responsible’ for School Shooting Deaths

On Thursday afternoon, within a couple of hours of covering the school shooting in Santa Clarita, California, MSNBC journalists were predictably suggesting Republicans were to blame for the deaths as analysts and several Democratic guests pined for more gun control.

At one point, host Katy Tur invited MSNBC law enforcement analyst Jim Cavanaugh to blame Republican Senators for gun deaths because of their refusal to support more restrictions: “Would you go so far as to hold them responsible for the deaths that are continuing — the lives that are continuing to be lost with gun violence?”

Cavanaugh, who had already been ranting against Republicans for several minutes, declared, “Look, I clearly do,” and then resumed his rant.
