GOP Rep. Debbie Lesko Is Mad She Accidentally Said She Would Shoot Her Own Grandchildren

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) caused a stir this week when she took the floor of the House to oppose a gun safety bill and in the process seemed to vow to shoot her own grandchildren.

“I have five grandchildren,” the congresswoman began in her Tuesday speech. “I would do anything—anything—to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren.” Growing more angry, Lesko then accused Democrats of trying to “take away my right to protect my grandchildren” and “the rights of law-abiding citizens to protect their own children.”

After Lesko’s remarks started to pick up steam on social media Wednesday, with gun rights activists including Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts expressing concern over her apparent priorities, the congresswoman issued a statement that did not seek to clarify her comments but rather attack her critics.

“It never ceases to amaze me the lengths gun control zealots will go!” Lesko wrote on Twitter. “They turned my speech about protecting Second Amendment rights and my right to protect my grandchildren from violent criminals into a claim I would harm my own grandchildren. Absolutely ridiculous!”

2. This is the lunacy that is being said in public by members of Congress!

She would shoot her own grandchildren to protect them...from gun legislation?

Is she trying to incite gun humpers to shoot people that want gun restrictions?

I'm not a gun owner, but that is how I'm taking it.

3. She is just not good at speaking to and with normal humans. Her bubble is very small

Remember how angry she was when she was heckled at that High School graduation in May 2022

Attendee Ethan Parr says the academy's administration apologized for Lesko."

4. She said what she said. Words mean what they mean. If she wants to alter her statement, go

ahead and acknowledge that is what is being done. But fuck off with the gas lighting.

7. rocks are more intelligent than her
