Yesterday in Texas, 26 people were killed and many more injured by a madman who entered a church and started shooting. Ultimately the killer was stopped by a good Samaritan with a gun, but that fact might not matter because some media outlets have a narrative to help promote:
.@SpeakerRyan received $171,977 in 2016 campaign contributions from the gun lobby. See what other lawmakers got: https://t.co/EbAhlPL4Ng pic.twitter.com/DTg7sbQnz3

That response following yesterday’s shooting looks like it could have come straight out of the DNC press shop:
We are doing this again?
Must have missed these after the NY attacks regarding donations to Dems from the pro-immigration lobby. https://t.co/PMBjnNMmj2

If Politico is going to selectively push this nonsense after tragedies, they should stop pretending to be a media organization.

How much does PP donate to various political campaigns? Who gets it? And yet they still get Fed funding. Why?

Dems: "WE NEED CHANGE!"
us: "Um okay what do you propose"
Dems: "Uhhh. I got it! Let's tweet out how much the NRA donates to the GOP!" https://t.co/jk3gESmNk0— Brooks (@EBrooksUncut) November 6, 2017
Unfortunately, the kind of approach Politico took has its intended effect on many:

Speaker Ryan would be well served to pray for his own soul.

#ShamelessRepublicans!
I hope all that money can help you sleep at night, while you're allowing Americans to be killed by your inaction! https://t.co/aZOOQIhtAv— Lisa Ramirez (@LizzieLis_221b) November 6, 2017

By taking this money and bowing to the will of the NRA, you are complicit in murder. How does it feel? https://t.co/SteHCWXfaM
