Missouri Guv Parson Dunks On Politicized Kansas City Teen Shooting Aftermath

It's important to share this statement because the words are thoughtful and don't come from somebody running for reelection. 

Also . . . We haven't seen much clap back from elected officials on the statement. 

DID GUV PARSON OFFER THE DEFINITIVE CONSERVATIVE TAKE ON KANSAS CITY TEEN SHOOTING ACTIVIST ANTICS?!?!?

"I don't want some 16-year-old kid to be getting shot because he went to the wrong house—we just don't want those kinds of things to happen. It's a tragedy," Parson, a Republican, told The Kansas City Star at the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City on Wednesday. "When the president of the United States is trying to make a political statement over a very serious tragedy, it is very unfortunate and I don't agree with trying to make political points out of terrible—I've never done that since I've been governor."

After adding that no parent should have to worry about their children being shot, and that more has to be done to combat escalating gun violence in America, Parsons said "young men and women get killed in St. Louis and Kansas City every day" but don't receive personal correspondence from President Joe Biden.
