Goldberg began the segment by playing video clips of President Biden and Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., reacting angrily to the shooting, which killed at least 21 people, including 19 students and two teachers after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos entered an elementary school with firearms late Tuesday morning.
