Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton isn’t known for her positive public image — but Monday she went too far.
Hillary’s opportunistic tweet following the massacre in Las Vegas that left 58 dead and over 500 wounded didn’t just disgust conservatives.
Across the political spectrum, critics almost universally agreed: It’s time for Hillary to stop talking.
Instead of simply offering her thoughts and prayers to the victims or asking for unity and support during this time, Hillary did what she does best — she used the massacre to further her own political aims.
She immediately attacked the second amendment and the National Rifle Association —
The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.
Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.

Of course, anyone with experience with firearms knows that the presence of a flash suppressor or silencer wouldn’t have helped the gunman hide.
Unlike what Hillary thinks, this isn’t the movies.
According to The Blaze’s Dana Loesch, it’s like trying to muffle a jackhammer with a pillow.
Suppressors only reduce by a few decibels, still same decibel level as a jackhammer. https://t.co/aj0AvJMZwv

Hillary wasn’t satisfied with just spreading misinformation, though.
She also told Americans it wasn’t enough to be filled with grief, and said they should seize the opportunity to attack her historic rivals in the NRA —
Our grief isn't enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.

Hillary’s thoughtless politicizing the death of 58 Americans at the hand of an insane gunman drew immediate rebuke.
Ignorant, irrelevant and exploitative https://t.co/6XWGQxcDPt
