Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) went off on a rant about the GOP being cowards over gun control without using facts, only emotions.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) tried to have a constructive conversation but we all know how that goes.
From The New York Post:
“They’re cowards! They’re all cowards!” Bowman, a former Bronx middle school principal, shouted near reporters, referring to the Republican members walking through the hallway.“They won’t do anything to save the lives of our children at all. Cowards!” Bowman continued. “Pressure them. Force them to respond to the question, ‘Why the hell don’t you do anything to save America’s children?’ And let them explain that all the way up to Election Day in 2024.”“They’re freaking cowards. They’re gutless,” Bowman screamed.The tirade caught the attention of Massie, a gun owner and co-chairman of the House Second Amendment Caucus, who asked Bowman what he was raging about.“I’m talking about gun violence,” Bowman replied.Massie proceeded to try and explain to Bowman that arming teachers may be a way of countering school shootings, but Bowman wasn’t having it.“You know, there’s never been a school shooting in a school that allows teachers to carry,” Massie said.
Bowman continued to chastise Massie, who did his best to remain calm:
Bowman accused Massie of “carrying the water for the gun lobby” as the Kentucky Republican continued to try and make his point about arming teachers, telling Bowman at one point to “calm down.”“Calm down? Children are dying,” Bowman shouted.Massie walked away from Bowman and went over to talk with reporters after the representative of New York’s 16th District began to repeatedly ask, “Have you ever worked in a school?”“You’re just screaming at me,” Massie said, as he went over to tell reporters, “We have guns here to protect us, and he doesn’t believe that kids should have somebody to protect them.”
