WATCH: Katie Hill Suggests Americans Should Vote Democrat If They Care About Children

Former Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) suggested on Thursday that if Americans care about the safety of children, then they need to vote for Democratic candidates so that they can pass a host of gun control legislation.

“You feel, I think, as a freshman especially just coming in, you feel this sense of powerlessness, like, we’ve done our part, what else can we do right now? And to me it just says with complete and utter clarity, we don’t have a choice but to flip the Senate and to get somebody in the White House who is going to make this a priority,” Hill told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “So, regardless of your other political beliefs, if you think that the safety of our kids matter, then that’s to me what needs to get you to the polls.”
