Why On Earth Are Some MAGA Republicans Wearing AR-15 Pins?

Oh, I think it’s brilliant in its own way, because the Right knows how to play the MSM like the finest of violins. Someone finally figured out how to bait the NYT (among others) into both-sidesing conspiracy theories. Not only that, but unlike the GQP, the Dems will be chastised for their supposed adherence, publically and often.

It never fails.

Please let these two loons (Anna Paulina Luna (florida critter) and Georgie Santos (R-“what dog?”)) wear their pins through Washington National next time they try to fly home.

Why On Earth Are Some MAGA Republicans Wearing AR-15 Pins?

The answer is self-evident. It is not a riddle, by any means.

More MAGA maturity. orange says if he’s not the 2024 nominee, he won’t support the person who is.

His refusal to say he would support the party’s nominee in 2024 underscores concerns among some Republicans that the former president would run as a third-party candidate if he does not win the nomination, siphoning off a large number of GOP primary voters who are loyal to Trump.

There’s cheering going on chez Blue.

A “gun bill” that nobody has heard of, much less seen. Assault weapon pins replacing their oh-so-sacred Flag.

No good can come of this.

Santos doesn’t go through the airport, he pulls off his shirt and glasses revealing that he is Superman and flies himself home.

Well, they don’t wanna get theologically blue-balled. That can be painful.

But he stopped short of suggesting Jewish space lasers caused California wild fires. So MTG had to pick up the slack

At this point these yahoos are acting like a bunch middle-aged school kids who only care about how to make the adults in the room angry. I would not be surprised if this has something to do with the fact that they took out the magnetometers and they are allowing guns in the committee rooms, where they didn’t before. The Democrats raised their concerns about this and the Republicans think it is all a big fat joke. Then there is the State of the Union Address coming up where the Democrats are concern for Joe Biden’s safety, and this is starting to smell like the Purple Heart band-aids worn at the 2004 Republican Convention.

Addition:
Over at Daily Kos there is an diary where the writer claims it is a FU to Ronald Reagan because twenty-nine years from today (February 2, 1994) Ronald Reagan lobbied and convinced the House to support the 1994 federal Assault Weapons Ban. They’re replacing their flag pins with the AR-15 pins to show their support to the NRA. In other words they’re a bunch of middle age school kids.

The Dems have amassed a great many legislative accomplishments, culminating with the Omnibus Bill.

That’s what Democrats need to focus on.

The combination of GOP ineptitude and Democratic governance should be apparent.

Do not encourage them.

“Finally”? You must be young. The Times has been suckered in to every GQP conspiracy since at least the Bill Clinton administration, 30 years ago.

I think I finally understand something now. We all misunderstood MTG, they weren’t Jewish space lasers, they were Jew-ish space lasers. That’s why she and Santos have so much to talk about.

Yes, but this is the GQP suckering the MSM into reporting that the Democrats are the purveyors of conspiracy theories, which is on a different level.
