WH Idiocy Alert: ‘Obamacare Helps Prevent Mass Shootings’
by Shifra on October 7, 2015So, is the WH admitting that there are factors, other than the “refusal of Congress” to enact draconian gun laws, that may contribute to mass shootings?

Via The Hill: White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Tuesday said the GOP’s 2016 presidential field could help fight gun violence by pushing for the expansion of Medicaid. “We have heard [Republican White House] candidates talk about an openness to work with the administration on gun violence,” he told reporters during the White House’s daily press briefing. “Many of them talk about improving mental healthcare,” Earnest said. “One of the biggest providers of mental healthcare — especially in disadvantaged communities —...
