If the right-wing response really was “Duh, MOAR GUNZ!” that would actually be ok — ham-fisted, misguided and monumentally stupid, but whatever.

Yeah, this is probably going to test people’s ability and/or willingness to separate the artist from their art.

Yeah, this is a big thing for conservatives. My grandma’s side of the family can’t stand me because of my “rudeness” (not agreeing with their point of view) and that I say fuck (i.e. “It’s really fucking hard to come into the US on a refugee visa”).

I’m 42. If I wind up being 1/10 the woman Emma Gonzalez is right this very second, I will consider it a win. I’m in absolute awe of her.

What gets me is that they get outraged at the strong language, but not the fact that they have to practice active-shooter drills.

Yeah, I guess I’d better get back to my Italian lessons, brush up on my college French, plus learn Welsh, German, Polish, Russian, and possibly Hebrew since that’s my ethnic background. What’s King’s ethnic make up and how many of those languages does he speak? Asshole. Every racist should be required to do a DNA test…

He’s also a shithead who criticizes someone for a patch bearing the flag of a nation they didn’t live in while displaying a motherfucking Confederate flag on his desk.

And rocks. Don’t forget the buckets full of rocks.

This from people who swear up and down that they’re against “political correctness.”

I love the respectability politics bullshit. These kids use bad words, they were rude to adults at that CNN event, they didn’t bow and scrape to a US Senator... for shame. Yes, yes I’m sure if they were polite, quiet and obsequious you’d totally listen to their message!

Damn it this pisses me off. She is a teenager.

Also, Rep. King is forever banned from going to any St. Patrick’s Day parades. Oh, and since he’s in favor of banning the displaying of flags of regimes that took away peoples’ rights and fought for bad causes, he should really stop displaying that Confederate Flag on his fucking desk.

Steve King is that special kind of idiot who doesn’t understand the idea of zero sum game as it applies to gun control and a straw man argument as it applies to his idiotic Cuba analogy

I better take the little Finnish flag sticker off my bulletin board at work until I learn some Finnish. Shit. I just like that my family came from a place with hardly any gun violence and fuckin great education and health care, okay STEVE? Sheesh.

You have to be some kind of evil to go after a teenage girl who survived a school shooting. Like you truly have to be the worst type of person. Monsters.

When Ronald Reagan was governor of California he signed a major piece of gun-control legislation. The reason he did this is because the Black Panthers marched to the Capitol armed with rifles.

It’s also ironic because they think one of the solutions to school shootings is anti-bullying measures and yet they are bullying a teenager.

Is “Cuban flag patch” going to be the new “US flag pin” for right wingers to flip out about?

I wonder how King would feel if there was a concentrated effort to arm black and brown people with AR-15s. Talk about pants being shat.

Of course they’re trying to smear her...she scares the SHIT outta these “adults”.
