It was Wednesday that CNN’s Chris Cuomo called it “a lot of bunk” that anyone was calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, despite former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calling for exactly that in The New York Times just the day before.
this is a lot of bunk. no one calling for 2A repeal. stop with the bogeymen. we need to stop the shootings and have a rational conversation about what can be done. https://t.co/P2MYoY4EtO

Plenty of people retweeted Stevens’ op-ed, including Louisiana Democratic Party Chairwoman and state Senator Karen Carpenter Peterson, who serves as the vice chair of civic engagement and voter participation for the Democratic National Committee:

Considering that “no one” is calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment, we sure are hearing a lot of people arguing for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

This is the chair of the *Louisiana* Democrat party. Louisiana's current governor is a Dem and I can't imagine he's too happy about this considering he's up for reelection next year https://t.co/71X6dex84Q

Thank you @TeamKCP for showing us that liberals in fact DO want to repeal the #SecondAmendment
And also thank you for showing us that it is people like YOU that the Second Amendment is so important. #GunGrabber https://t.co/qP5SzgMOwO— Dennis (@DennisInAmerica) March 30, 2018

According to the USA Today Network, Peterson’s views are not shared by the Louisiana Democratic Party:
But Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Stephen Handwerk told USA Today Network the state party is “a strong supporter of the Second Amendment” that protects Americans’ rights to bear arms.
When asked if the tweet was reflective of the party’s position or Peterson’s, Handwerk said, “Of course not.”
Of course not.
