GOP Rep. Thomas Massie tweeting out that photo of his family posing with guns was disturbing enough to merit an entire Slate article.
Merry Christmas! 🎄

But it wasn’t just Slate who was offended. A lot of people were. Including CNN analyst and former FBI Special Agent Asha Rangappa.
Rangappa responded to Massie’s photo with a genius thought exercise that only a CNN analyst and former FBI Special Agent could come up with:
If there were black or brown families all posing with guns in front of their Christmas trees on social media, do you think these same GOP reps would be celebrating it as 2nd Amendment freedom, or using it to fear monger about a “race war” or “invasion” or some such?

Well, at least she had the good sense to leave small penises out of her tweet.
That’s really the only nice thing we can say about her mind-numbingly stupid take. Because, you know, it’s so mind-numbingly stupid.
Yeah it’s a mystery https://t.co/a2YoRll3u0 pic.twitter.com/pzmJLWk2Gq

Next stupid racist question, you mean?
sounds a little racist like you're somehow afraid of black and brown families posing with guns https://t.co/QbsJvq46zf

Celebrating.
Stop projecting your racism on others, thanks. https://t.co/e2iskUrN0T

What a racist statement. https://t.co/4JSHe4uytv

No kidding.
The saddest irony here is that liberals largely own the gun control movement and enforcement of those so-desired and beloved laws by them is grossly disproportionately enforced against the very black and brown communities they claim the laws are designed to protect. https://t.co/lx3JCdUcZ5

Just because the truth is inconvenient doesn’t make it any less truthful, Asha.
I thought it was both cringe and not a big deal. I’d feel the same if everyone in the photo had darker skin. https://t.co/8jXiZcTuug

The Second Amendment is for all Americans, Asha. Even you! Though you’re more than welcome not to exercise it if it’s not your thing.

That’s “you people” as in “abject morons,” Asha. Before you get upset about that tweet, too.
