Rep. Ted Lieu of California refuses to stay silent on gun control anymore. Lieu walked out of a moment of silence in the House of Representatives on Monday before broadcasting a Facebook Live video, explaining his decision. "I’m heartbroken about the children and adults that were killed in the worst mass shooting in Texas history this Sunday.” "My colleagues right now are doing a moment of silence. I respect their right to do that and I myself have participated in many of them, but I can’t do this again. ... I will not be silent.”
