(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, MAY 26 - Republican Senator TedCruz, one of the staunchest opponents of a tightening on weapons, has lost patience with a Sky news reporter who asked him to explain why the massacres like that in Texas only happen in the United States .
The video posted on the British all news Twitter account has been viewed over 8 million times.
"You have your own political agenda," Cruznon said, answering the question.
The senator was attending a vigil for the victims of Uvalde Elementary School with the governor of Texas, Gregg Abbott.
"Because there is this horrible uniqueness in America," the reporter urges.
"Isn't this the time to carry out a reform on weapons?", Urges the journalist.
"The changes proposed by the democrats would not stop violent crimes," replies Cruz.
The reporter keeps asking why America is the only one in the world, why it has this "horrible uniqueness".
At that point the player loses his patience.
"I'm sorry you think the uniqueness of America is horrible, people come here from all over the world because it's the most prosperous, free and safest country on earth. God loves you," he says before walking away without answering.
