Nashville TN mayor, John Cooper was on The Rachel Maddow Show & performed the usual tiresome Republican tropes:
1. It's a mental illness crisis. (Republicans refuse ALL public health programs, *including* contagious diseases like covid & mental health services)
2. Thoughts and Prayers (Translated from the Republican: "F**k public safety, my NRA funding from Russia matters more.")
3. Denial of any involvement in the bigotry feeding their "Constitutional Tough Luck" & GOP gun policy
