This is actually pretty stupid for a variety of reasons. First, there are a number of Democrats who support either the NRA or at least responsible gun ownership. Still, I’ll at least give him a pass as the NRA heavily skews Republican and Wayne knows where his bread is buttered.
But the rest? Are there no Black NRA groups? I sure as shit know there are proud women NRA groups. So for the head of the NRA to stand up and say “hey, all you women we’ve been courting for so long? Here’s a nice pat on the head. Try not to get any illusions about running for President though because that’s the white man’s job.”
Well, he was born in Miami, but his parents were not naturalized until four years later, which makes him an anchor baby, and there is a sector of the RW that questions the legitimacy of citizenship acquired that way.
With #1, you are apparently worried about grandfather clause scenario, but since #2 would (presumably/hopefully) include naturalized citizens, then Marco’s children should be just fine.
I’m not sure if that includes embassies/consulates or prisons but I agree with your main sentiment - as long as the birther is extremely attractive and gagged.
The Twitter account of the Senate Republicans tweeted a memorial for today being the 150th anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The wording of the tweet was a bit unfortunate:
Once the mistake was pointed out to them, they changed it:
Nah, I don’t think so, I think they just stepped on their dick. Remember, Republicans have gone to great and strenuous lengths to remind us, over and over and over, that Ol’ Abe was a Republican.
Those weren’t intended to represent black NRA members (although the NRA would claim that if questioned), they were intended to represent reasons to own a gun.
