Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan took NRCC chairman Rep. Tom Emmer to the woodshed over the violent Twitter video he posted of him shooting a high powered weapon with the hashtag #FirePelosi.
Emmer got flustered when the CBS host confronted his violent attack on Speaker Pelosi just after Paul Pelosi was almost murdered in his home when a MAGA supporter hit him with a hammer.
"I would love to talk about something other than people being worried for their lives, but unfortunately, that's where are," Brennan said.
"I want to ask you about this, when it comes to political violence. On your Twitter feed you posted this video we're going to show just a few day ago where you're firing a gun and it says, enjoyed exercising my second amendment rights, #FirePelosi. Why is there a gun in a political ad at all?" Brennan asked.
Emmer immediately denied it was an ad, as if that matters.
"#FirePelosi with a weapon.Wouldn't a pink slip be more fitting if it's about firing her?" she asked.
Emmers had no defense for his f**ked up video so he changed subjects faster that Superman flies. Instead of Hillary it was Bernie Sanders.
"It's interesting we're talking about this this morning when a couple years back when a Bernie Sanders supporter shot Steve Scalise --" he said.
"Which was horrific, which is why we should be not putting weapons -- " Brennan was interrupted.
"I never heard you or anyone else in the media trying to blame democrats for --" he lied.
We did extensive coverage of what happened to Steve Scalise," she shot back.
Emmers then tried to claim Democratic rhetoric is just as bad as MAGA's.
"I'm not talking about rhetoric. I'm talking about what you posted. You're shooting a gun, our viewers just saw it. #FirePelosi," she said pointedly.
"Exercising my second amendment -- : he countered.
"That's not a debate about second amendment. That's not a debate about second amendment, " she replied. "#firepelosi. Do you not understand that that's suggestive to people who are in a bad state and in this current environment, how risky that is? As you're talking about lowering the rhetoric."
"I disagree," he said.
Emmers pivoted back to Steve Scalise , who was shot five years ago.
"I'm talking about right now," she said. It's just happening now."
Steve Scalise, Steve Scalise, Steve Scalise.
Republican actions have been infused with violent rage and vapid conspiracy theories, including videos like Emmer's posted so he had to blame the other side.
