McConnell: The Nation Stands With Newtown

Speaking on the Senate floor Monday, Republican Leader Mitch McConnell expressed sympathies for the victims and survivors of the shooting massacre Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.McConnell says the murder of so many children shatters America’s heart, and that President Obama spoke for the nation when he talked about the importance of bond parents have with their children."What happened in Newtown on Friday is something no parent of a young child could ever prepare for. But I think President Obama spoke for all of us in the very moving meditation he offered last night on the singularity of parental love," McConnell said. "There is literally nothing we wouldn’t do for our kids. And that’s one of the things that makes this massacre so terrible, and which makes the stories of courage we’ve heard so inspiring."Watch:
