We’ve been telling you all weekend about Alyssa Milano protesting at the NRA Annual Meeting in Dallas, but we just realized it appears that she’s lying to people about having armed security at her protest.
ICYMI, this video from Ben Howe is what started it all where Milano’s allegedly armed security guard chases away Will Haraway, an NRA member and CCW holder:
This is Will Haraway a CCW @nra member. He asked @Alyssa_Milano’s security if he was armed (he was) and then asked Alyssa about it. Here’s what happened. (She comes to talk to him after this and I will post that longer video shortly). pic.twitter.com/qMsq6rbzDd

Milano then took to Twitter and stated, “For the record, my personal bodyguard was not armed.”
For the record, my personal bodyguard was not armed.
I had no control over what the Dallas PD and event coordinators planned to protect me.
I guess much like the gun lobby had no control over the secret service banning guns at the gun convention.

Now, we don’t know if this a semantic game (Editor’s note: updated below)and she doesn’t consider the gentleman above her “personal bodyguard,” but it’s pretty clear he was armed. From Will Haraway, the guy in the video, himself:
She is lying. All of us who know what a handgun looks like under a jacket know he was armed. #Hypocrisy https://t.co/8UdedPsLqd

Busted!
I saw it. No question. They lie because they are liars. He was carrying. https://t.co/P6nTajFssE

Update: As we predicted, she’s saying this wasn’t her bodyguard:
This was event security, not my bodyguard. But regardless, this security guy has had training and passed a background check. These are the common sense gun reform policies we are fighting for for everyone.
Can’t wait to see the unedited longer video. https://t.co/tHREzjnsZH
