 Someone needs to tell Rep. Ted Lieu that making an ass out of himself after 26 innocent people have been murdered is not such a good look. Oh and we get it, he was trying to make some DEEP and MEANINGFUL statement about how praying isn’t enough, but all he managed to do was make himself look like a jackass. 
 
 .@tedlieu walked out of a moment of silence on the House floor for victims of the mass shooting in Texas. Vile POS. https://t.co/vbIn5IUwBL — Nick Short ?? (@PoliticalShort) November 7, 2017 
 
 Or a vile POS – that works too. 
 
 Feel free to call me a vile POS because I'm cool like that. But what's really vile is inaction in the face of mass shootings. — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) November 7, 2017 
 
 He’s cool like that. Alrighty then. 
 
 Oh and it seems that Ted would like people to call him a vile POS, so if you come across him in your feed today, you know what to do. 
 
 Really dude? 
 
 You are vile. You're making a mockery of the dead and trying to promote yourself while running to facebook in order to promote your agenda. — Nick Short ?? (@PoliticalShort) November 7, 2017 
 
 He’s playing political theatre on the backs of innocents and pushing an agenda to raise funds for his campaign. When you think about it in those terms, he’s definitely a vile POS. 
 
 I’d also like to know why on Jan. 3, 2017, you paid Abid Awan $3,777.79 then called on govt employees to leak info? https://t.co/dtc46ye1cz — Nick Short ?? (@PoliticalShort) November 7, 2017 
 
 Oopsie. 
 
 I agree. No respect for anything including himself. — tina johnson (@alvinant) November 7, 2017 
 
 Walking out during a moment of silence tells the families that he doesn't care about them or their loved ones that were murdered. #TedLieu — Freak4Health (@lu_freak4health) November 7, 2017 
 
 Can you name 10 things that Ted has accomplished in Congress? Can you name 5 things? Can you name 1 thing? — Business-Superstar (@BizSuperstar) November 7, 2017 
 
 Does thinking Nixon was impeached count? Asking for a friend. 
 
 Let's see. Lieu voted against Securing our borders 4x's. Voted against our military 3x's. Also voted against healthcare but who's counting. — Christian Lamar (@christianllamar) November 7, 2017 
 
 Ted Lieu is too busy walking out of moments of silence for victims to promote himself on Facebook or Twitter than to get anything REAL done — Todd Headlee (@ToddHeadleeAZ) November 7, 2017 
 
 And that’s the Democrat way.

 Politicize a shooting? Rep. Ted Lieu practically campaigns for Democrats in hours after massacre 

 Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) says he walked out of a moment of silence on the House floor for victims of Sunday's mass shooting in Texas, saying he “will not be silent” after yet another massacre. 
 
 Lieu posted a video on his Facebook page Monday night after the moment of silence, during which he said he was “heartbroken about the children and adults that were killed in the worst mass shooting in Texas history this Sunday.” 
 
 “My colleagues right now are doing a moment of silence in the House of Representatives chambers,” Lieu said. “I respect their right to do that and I myself have participated in many of them.”

 “But I can’t do this again; I’ve been to too many moments of silences. In just my short period in congress three of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history have occurred. I will not be silent.” 
 
 Lieu referred specifically to the Texas shooting, as well as the mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub in June 2016 that left 49 people dead and the mass shooting in Las Vegas last month, the deadliest in modern U.S. history, where 58 people were killed. 
 
 Lieu called for the House to take action and “pass gun safety legislation now.” 
 
 “I urge us to pass reasonable gun safety legislation, including a universal background check law supported by 80 percent of Americans, a ban on assault rifles and a ban on bump stocks,” he said. 
 
 “We need to do that. We cannot be silent. We need to act now.” 
 
 Democratic lawmakers renewed their calls for Congress to pass gun control legislation in the wake of Sunday’s shooting, but Republican lawmakers have declined to do so. 
 
 A poll last month found that support for stricter gun regulations had reached an all-time high, with 60 percent of respondents saying they would be in favor of the measures. 
 
 The Senate Judiciary Committee said Monday that the panel will hold a hearing on bump stocks, a device used by the Las Vegas gunman that simulates automatic gunfire on semi-automatic weapons. Seventy-three percent of respondents in the same poll said they back banning bump stocks.

– Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu says he's "heartbroken" over the victims in Sunday's mass shooting in Texas, but he posted a Facebook video explaining why he walked out on a moment of silence for them in the House. "I can't do this again," says the California representative, per the Hill. "I've been to too many moments of silences." Lieu pointed out that three of the worst such shootings in US history have taken place since he joined Congress in 2015, referring to Las Vegas (58 dead), Orlando (49), and now Texas (26). "I will not be silent," said Lieu, calling for Congress to pass stricter gun laws. "I urge us to pass reasonable gun safety legislation, including a universal background check law supported by 80% of Americans, a ban on assault rifles, and a ban on bump stocks," he says in the video. His skipping of the moment of silence, however, is drawing plenty of criticism. "And so what better time for political vermin like #TedLieu to start his re-election campaign?" tweeted actor and conservative firebrand James Woods. Lieu anticipated such attacks, tweeting an invite for critics to call him a "vile POS," and Twitchy rounds up tweets of people happy to oblige.
