Fox Anchor Asks Steve Scalise If GOP Is 'Out Of Step' With Voters On Gun Control

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) deflected when confronted on Fox News Sunday over whether the GOP is “out of step” with voters on proposed gun control legislation.

After pointing out that the U.S. “far and away leads every other nation” in the developed world in terms of gun violence, Fox News anchor John Roberts pointed to polling that showed 89% of Americans support background checks for gun owners and 74% support red flag laws.

“You and other Republicans have views about background checks and red flag laws that seem to run counter to what public sentiment is,” Roberts told the Louisiana Republican. “So are the views that you and your colleagues hold out of step with where the nation is?”

Scalise argued that the questions in the poll were misleading and called red flag laws “unconstitutional.”

Guess when Scalise got shot in the head it didn't hurt a bit.

1. The rethugs know as long as they support unrestricted guns they'll have a reliable 20-30% of voters

Add in anti abortion and they’ll pick up another 20 % (there are probably some who would vote for gun control but are vehemently anti abortion). I’m talking about voters, not citizens. If everyone voted the rethugs would be a footnote in history.

There are many people who have opinions, sometimes pretty well informed. But they don’t believe their vote matters. The Rs of course encourage this kind of thinking.

2. What a toad. He should just tell the truth: they don't give a shit what the voters want.
