Cruz Blames Obama for Sutherland, Texas Mass Shooting

EXCERPT:

CRUZ: "Sir, why does that matter because in Texas in Sutherland Spring we had just a few months ago the worst --"
CUOMO: "Church."
CRUZ: "-- church shooting in the history of the country. I was in that sanctuary the day after that shooting."
CUOMO: "True."
CRUZ: "I was with the victims of that crime. The shooter in Sutherland Springs --"
CUOMO: "Right."
CRUZ: "It was already illegal for him to purchase a firearm under federal law, two reasons over. Number one, he had a felony conviction."
CUOMO: "Right."
CRUZ: "Number two, he had a domestic violence conviction."
CUOMO: "Right."
CRUZ: "Why was he able to buy a firearm? Because the Air Force, under President Obama --"
CUOMO: "Didn't report."
CRUZ: "-- never reported the conviction."
CUOMO: "Yes."
CRUZ: "Grassley-Cruz would have fixed that. And here's the more important piece. Grassley-Cruz would have also directed the Department of Justice to prosecute felons and fugitives who illegally try to buy guns. The Department of Justice hasn't been doing that. So the Sutherland Springs shooter when he went in to buy his guns, he lied on the background check."
CUOMO: "Right."
CRUZ: "He checked a box that said he wasn't a felon. That was a lie. That's another felony."
