15. What GOP Governor has insulted half of the United States, and told them they aren't welcome?

The "right" may say worse every goddamned day, but I doubt the Governors did. You do realize that 40-45% of households own firearms, and although I don't have the statistics right now, a HUGE majority of Americans believe in the 2nd Amendment.
Do you also know that although the majority of people don't want to overturn Roe V Wade, they do consider themselves personally "pro life".

I think that there will be a huge backlash in his comments, and you will see him backing away from them a little bit in the coming days. Had he said "Tea Partiers", or something to that effect are not welcome that would be different than the slam against the Pro-Life, and Pro Gun population, MANY of them that belong to the Democratic Party.

Way too broad of a brush was used.
