Rep. Gabby Giffords posted to YouTube her announcement that she will resign from Congress this week to focus on further physical recovery from being shot just over a year ago. The video racked up nearly 400,000 views in its first day online, and yet among almost 12,000 Tweets we analyzed via our partner Crimson Hexagon, only about 300 even mentioned guns.
“They shot her with a gun, and there was 33 bullets in that gun,” Cenk says. “What happened after the shooting? What kind of legislation did we have? What kind of proposals did we have? Nothing. Nothing.”
