While the leader of the nation is working on protecting America's school children, the very Sheriff who's inaction allowed Cruz to go on a high school shooting spree is busy deflecting blame and virtue signaling.
Sheriff Scott Israel is under mounting pressure to resign <a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/19327-Rep-Bill-Hager-R-Boca-Raton-Asks-Florida-Governor-To-Fire-Broward-Sheriff">as calls for his resignation flood in</a> from state lawmakers, students, and parents across the country. The controversy stems from four Broward County Sheriff's who refused to go inside the school when 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz riddled students and faculty with bullets.
To make matters worse, it was later revealed the Broward County Sheriffs were called to Cruz's residence over nearly two dozen times for domestic disturbance calls, including one where he assaulted his mother. Cruz also posted a comment on YouTube claiming he was going to become a "professional school shooter."

The alarming comment was conveyed the proper authorities but they failed to take action against Cruz after the FBI deemed he was not a threat. Now, Sheriff Israel is deflecting any inkling of responsibility away from himself and onto his deputies. In an interview with NBC 6, Israel said, "Leaders are not responsible for a person. I gave him a gun. I gave him a badge. I gave him the training. If he didn’t have the heart to go in, that’s not my responsibility."

Israel's failure to accept responsibility for his office's actions has not gone unnoticed by the Parkland high school shooting victims they failed to protect. One survivor named Kyle Kashuv appeared in an interview on Fox News Sunday night to say, "He (Israel) failed to act on so many different levels and him himself, he is responsible for this massive failure. It could have been easily stopped both by the FBI and the sheriff's department had they acted."

Where is the Anti-Trump , pro-bush Fla. Gov. on this?
Remember he was ☺ shooting his mouth off ☺ about firing Trumps FBI Director and etc… just days ago for the same accusations.
An I will say it again…. Isn't it amazing this happened the same time Mueller was releasing the investigation indictments?
Official findings which showed, by process of elimination TRUMP was NOT involved. A story, a bigger story, that hid the fact the Liberals, Socialists, Globalists with their Media buddies were faking the Trump-Russian Collusion from the start.
