I can't believe Trey Gowdy said this! re: shootings

Or am I not understanding the meaning of subrogate?

"The right to life is the most fundamental basic primary right that we have. It is the right from which all other rights emanate. It doesn't matter if you have a right to a lawyer if you're dead. It doesn't matter if you have the right to free speech if you're dead. It doesn't matter if you have the right to keep and bear arms if you're dead. So on a personal level I'm willing to subrogate any of my other rights to avoid another Sandy Hook, another Pulse nightclub, another day like we had yesterday."

Same here! I'm in SC and have always followed his career with admiration. My heart sunk with his words and the tie.
