Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) defended the law enforcement response after it was confirmed they waited about an hour outside the Uvalde, Texas, school during last week’s mass shooting.
The Texas senator—who was recently tapped by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to work with Democrats on possible gun control rules—claimed that criticizing first responders after the shooting, which left 19 children and two adults dead, is “distracting and unfair.”
