During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) urged Congress not to legislate under the “heat of the moment,” referring to the emotions resulting from gun violence in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX. That’s why I was surprised when last week, about a week ago, when you have, this gang of 20 emerged saying we have a deal. I keep asking to see text, and it became apparent they didn’t have a bill. What they had was agreement on a series of very broad promises.”“Now, I know there’s some bill text that’s probably been written, but on the most contentious controversial, potentially impactful provisions, there is no language,” Lee continued. But, Shannon, the important thing here is you have to be careful whenever something like this happens, that we not legislate under the heat of the moment — heat of the moment, under great emotion without looking at that text and figuring out what we’re doing.
