'LOL': Gun grabbing moms try to brand themselves as 'badass' with HuffPo puff piece

The Huffington Post did a puff piece on Shannon Watts, the head of Mom’s Demand, the anti-gun organization bankrolled by nanny-stater Michael Bloomberg.

“It makes our moms feel like badasses to take on the most powerful lobbying organization in the country,” Watts told The Huffington Post last week.

Senator Gillibrand promoted the piece on her Twitter account and echoed the “badass” line despite not being enough of a badass to name her Senate colleagues who allegedly sexually harassed her. Apparently it’s now considered “badass” to oppose the Second Amendment.

.@MomsDemand truly are a bunch of #BadassMoms showing the power of getting #offthesidelines & raising your voice: http://t.co/vD4SmG6mPb

Nothing says “badass” like a misleading political attack on a private company.
