House Republicans Criticized over Assault Weapon Lapel Pins: 'Mortifying'
House Republicans have been slammed for sporting lapel pins shaped like assault rifles.
Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia on Thursday took credit for the pins that colleagues Rep. George Santos of New York and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida have been photographed wearing.
"I hear that this little pin that I've been giving out on the House floor has been triggering some of my Democratic colleagues," Clyde said in a video posted on Twitter. "Well, I give it out to remind people of the Second Amendment of the Constitution and how important it is in preserving our liberties."
The pins sparked outrage from Democrats and others on social media, coming in the wake of a series of mass shootings and during National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

The GOP is literally mocking the violence and deaths that are tearing communities apart and sending them into the dark depths of mourning and despair.
Clyde talks about "preserving our liberties" with guns and doesn't give a RA about preserving a life.
Any member of congress wearing the assault rifle pin in congress should be removed from office.

(27,175 posts)1. Clyde is the representative for my district,
although he sure doesn't represent me. He is a gun humper who has an image of a big assault rifle on his campaign signs.
