As Twitchy told you last night, Bethany Mandel penned a powerful op-ed for the New York Times explaining her decision to purchase a gun to protect her family. Moms Demand founder Shannon Watts proceeded to not only dismiss Mandel’s very valid concerns but also to slime her for her “white privilege.”
This morning, Mandel appeared on “FOX & Friends” to discuss her piece:
Gun-owning mother of three: What gun critics don’t understand is that a lot of us own guns because we have children | @bethanyshondark pic.twitter.com/lWhI43MLjH

And Oliver Willis poked his head out from under a rock to fling his own poo at her:
if you're a mom, having guns in your home makes me question how much you care about your kids, period. https://t.co/cX1jEJ6j2E

"I'm a mom, that's why I have pointy sticks and crack pipes all over my home. Because I am a mom."
— Oliver Willis (@owillis) March 6, 2018
the perverse thing is conservatives love to attack single moms – esp if theyre black or latino – but want to praise mothers who put guns in their homes. i mean, come on.

Pardon our French, but what in the ever-loving hell is wrong with him?

Is this really the route gun grabbers want to go? Attacking mothers who love their children and want to exercise their Constitutional right to defend them? Because it won’t end well for them.
Do you have kids? Have you spent any time with firearms? Have you ever had someone break into your home?

Late 40's when I became a single mom. After 2 break-ins in my neighborhood, I investigated, trained and became licensed TO protect my son. We're responsible parents.

How long have you been a mom? Or a woman? Or a 3-year-old crime victim? Or a trained gun owner who stores her gun(s) responsibly? I make a different choice in my house because I’ve had different experiences, but @bethanyshondark is not a bad mom just because you don’t like guns.

What a ridiculous and awful thing to say about a mother. A new low. ?

Who the hell are you to judge me. I protect my kids any way I can and safely. I am well trained and armed. I question people like you who are scared of strong women

This is today's totalitarian left in a nutshell: agree with me or you hate your own offspring. Let me womansplain something to you, jack*ss: whenever you guys do this it makes the other half of America dig in deeper. Enjoy Trump 2020! https://t.co/xbqHA5FAVh
