Congresswoman, and Chair of that committee, told MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin that she thinks “the American people should know that a record number of Americans are dying from gun violence while these gun manufacturers reap record profits and are not taking any responsibility.”

Democrats have long struggled to play on an equal playing field with Republicans when it comes to messaging campaigns. Between the power of Fox News and the brazenness of GOP fear-mongering, Democrat talking points rarely get through to voters. However, some new progressive figures are developing new ways to connect with the American people.
