We didn’t hear much about a Moms Demand Action-branded promo graphic that we ran in the April issue of GunNews. Not until a 20-year-old college kid sent me a nasty text, accusing *us* of racism for running it.
“How about you stop discriminating against black men? Your ad is racist as f***. You’re an absolute joke of a f****** man. Disgusting.”
I wrote up that story and put it at Guns Save Life’s website. And all hell has broken loose.
Social media is everywhere, and those savvy about gun control’s racist past and present picked up on the racist bent in the ad. A whole lot organizations shared the post.
The Moms Demand Action head Karen spends a lot of time on social media. And Saturday afternoon Big Karen posted this on Twitter. (Screen cap’d in case she deletes the post.)
Is that like a Karen version of Shaggy’s “It wasn’t me” song?
For those who don’t want to watch the 90s tune about a guy caught red-handed sleeping with the girl next door, well, he got caught. And the whole time, despite a mountain of evidence, he tries to gaslight his girlfriend by claiming, “It wasn’t me.” Hence the name of the tune.
Okay, so maybe it wasn’t her. Maybe it was one of her local groups.
We don’t know for sure. At the same time, we don’t have any direct evidence it wasn’t her.
So we’ll say, okay. It wasn’t you. And we won’t publish it and directly attribute it in any way to Moms Demand Action.
