White House Goes After Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for Her Support of the Second Amendment

The White House is attacking Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for supporting the Second Amendment.

Over the weekend, Rep. Greene had tweeted a thread about how “the AR-15 is my favorite gun for hunting & home defense.”

Last week, Biden told reporters, “I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.”

“Banning ‘assault weapons’ will not stop a transgender from shooting up his own LGBTQ community or any other murderer already breaking laws to kill people. More gun control laws just create more defenseless victims,” Greene tweeted.

The congresswoman continued, “Joe has been a career politician in office longer than I’ve been alive and he knows NOTHING about guns. Joe is an elite politician who enjoys the protection of AR-15’s but wants to take your guns away and leave you defenseless at the mercy of criminals who don’t care about laws.”

I will always protect American’s GREAT Second Amendment!

No Assault Weapons Ban!!

“I will always protect American’s GREAT Second Amendment!” Greene concluded. “No Assault Weapons Ban!!”

White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates attacked Greene over her posts in a statement obtained by the Washington Examiner’s Christian Datoc.

“These sentiments, from a politician who has called for violence against those with whom she disagrees, are not only inherently discredited – but they prove President Biden’s point,” the White House press secretary said.

Bates continued, “an assault weapons ban is one of the most effective actions we can take to support law enforcement in the fight against gun crime. Police chiefs have attested to that and the American people support doing so. Choosing the gun industry lobby over keeping our streets safe and protecting our children’s lives is flatly unacceptable, which is why President continues to advocate for an assault”
