In the aftermath of the Parkland mass shooting that left 17 dead and many more wounded, lawmakers are seeking solutions to prevent further tragedies. Cheddar spoke with RNC spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany about how Republicans plan to handle the controversial issue.
There is bipartisan support for a Senate bill that improves the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, further strengthening laws that are already in place. McEnany said the party supports the move, and will rely heavily on the states to report information about people who may be a danger to society to the correct authorities. "Just because you're pro-second amendment, just because you're with the NRA or see money from the NRA, that doesn't mean you don't want to do everything possible to prevent tragedies like this," said McEnany.
On the latest indictments in Special Counselor Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, McEnany believes the news is a sign the "democratic collusion conspiracy theory is unraveling."
