Oh shit it almost looks like she threw it away BECAUSE they said "we hope you take action on gun violence protection"

I don't necessarily think that's what happened because she was sort of headed towards the trash cans anyway. Regardless it is disgusting and really speaks volumes that she doesn't care, for Republican politicians there is no press bad enough. She is just that heartless.
