GOP rep calls Dem leadership 'seriously out of touch' for opposing tighter school security

Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., said during a House Oversight Committee hearing on gun violence that the White House has the wrong approach to addressing the problem.
"One of the things I've learned during my three overseas tours of military combat was that the harder the target you are, the less likely you will be engaged by the enemy," said Clyde, who served in Kuwait and Iraq during a 28-year Navy career. "That's a proven fact, and just common sense that applies across multiple aspects of life. For that to not be a part of the administration's focus just shows how seriously out of touch the Democrat leadership is with reality."
Clyde said he hopes his Democratic colleagues at Wednesday's hearing were "truly looking for legitimate, functional and effective answers and not just a bunch of left wing talking points," and he offered a number of measures that he believes would be effective.
