As the country continues to mourn the victims of the tragic attack in Uvalde, Texas, lawmakers are divided over what caused the tragedy.

U.S. Representative Ronny Jackson, who represents Texas’ 13th congressional district, stated how much things were different when he was growing up.

“I grew up in a small town in West Texas, not too much smaller than Uvalde, and I could never imagine something like this happening when I grew up, but when I grew up, things were different. There was a focus on family and community and church, and I think we knew each other. And I’m not saying that the people in Uvalde don’t know each other, but I think that’s been robbed from us. I think that our culture has changed over the last 30 or 40 years, and there’s been an attack on those things in particular.”

Jackson then blamed a variety of things he believes are harmful to children, including rap music.

“I just think that kids are exposed to all kinds of horrible stuff nowadays, too. I look back and I think about the horrible stuff that they hear when they listen to rap music, the video games that they watch from a really early age with all of this horrible violence and stuff, and I just think that … they have this access to the internet on a regular basis, which is just not good for kids, I don’t think.”

Finally, Jackson emphasized the importance of everyone working together to discover out “why” and “how” such a tragedy occurred.
