Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu doesn’t have a clue when it comes to guns … but he’s not about to let that stop him from shooting his mouth off:
How quaint that some folks are more concerned about kids speaking respectfully than the fact that 17 kids were slaughtered with an assault rifle.#StudentsStandUp https://t.co/S1htXAC8Xb

An assault rifle?
Wait. The shooter used a fully automatic machine gun, the likes of which have been virtually banned since 1934? That seems like news, Ted. Or it could be that you’re lying. https://t.co/la1Em3lYcb

My tweet doesn't say fully automatic machine gun. The shooter used an AR-15-style rifle.

You said "assault rifle," turbo. Words mean things. If you don't know which words mean which things, don't use those words. https://t.co/X8eD0aYUpT

Pssst! Ted! “Assault rifles” are capable of fully automatic fire. AR-15s are most definitely not. But Ted Lieu doesn’t have time for distinctions. He’s got an agenda to push, dammit!
NO. I will keep saying assault rifle if I feel like it. I will not let you define what I can or cannot say. In any statute, the term assault weapon or assault rifle would be defined. But in ordinary conversation, I will use assault rifle interchangeably with assault weapon.

Because Ted Lieu is all about the feelz. The truth? Eh, not so much.
As long as it’s what you “feel” that matters, Ted.

Now you sound like a 5 year old. "Its MY lie and I like it so Im going to keep it."

You've been listening to Oprah about "your own truth", haven't you?

Ted Lieu expresses HIS truth: https://t.co/j8gnoeRTw7

If you want to ban something, you need a highly specific definition to prevent abuse.
But go ahead and get your hate out. https://t.co/XGY72gdO6Y

Well, nobody can force you to be right or informed so you can keep proving as ignorant about the subject as you’d like.

So, you admit publically you will continue to deliberately disseminate misinformation & outright untruths?

Here he is openly admitting they use words to muddy the waters and lie. You cant have an honest discussion with them, they don't want to have one to begin with https://t.co/LPeTAdlLFU

Exactly.
I think you're a communist martian. Because I will not let you define what I can or cannot say. https://t.co/mSMo0X1JFq

Use it all you want. Doesn't make it accurate.

"I will keep saying assault rifle if I feel like it."
That's called lying. When you know something is false, and you say it anyway, you're lying.
We can't have a real discussion about fixing the problem until you people stop lying.
Why don't you want to have a conversation? https://t.co/iDJIxHJnzd

Why don't you want to come together as Americans and fix the problem of dying school children, @tedlieu?
Why is lying more important to you than saving innocent lives?
— Eric Spencer (@JustEric) February 22, 2018
You have the right to be an idiot… please continue to do so.
