For contrast: here’s what my gun-loving representative in Congress, Mary Miller (R, IL-15), tweeted today. This tweet appeared hours after the murders in Highland Park. No other tweets have followed:
Independence Day reminds us of the reasons we defend our statues, our monuments, our liberty, and our history.
— Rep. Mary Miller (@RepMaryMiller) July 4, 2022
We are blessed to live in a land that is free because of the brave. We are born free, endowed by God with rights no government can take away.
Happy Independence Day! pic.twitter.com/nXoMEazjAz
The tweet is online, for now. But in case someone has the after-the-fact sense to take it down, here’s a screenshot:
I cannot help seeing the fireworks behind her as gunfire.
And what is this language about “our statues, our monuments” meant to suggest, Mary? Oh wait — I know what it’s meant to suggest. And what do you mean by “our liberty, and our history”? Does that liberty include the right to end an unwanted pregnancy? Does that liberty include the right to be who you are and use the bathroom that fits who you are? Does “our history” include the past that you and your allies want to eliminate from public education? Oh wait — I know the answers to those questions too. And as for God-given rights: if they exist, I do not believe that they include the right to carry weapons of war in everyday life.
There’s something about Mary.

She is really something...
And how. I read somewhere someone who characterized her as “Marjorie Taylor Greene without the charm.” I’d say also Marjorie Taylor Greene without the brains.
