  Elon might ban than them.

  Twitter critics incensed Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is handing out assault rifle lapel pins to his colleagues amid horrific mass shootings are now circulating a photo of a panicked Clyde hiding from violent insurrectionists at the Capitol. 
  In the photo, Clyde — a look of utter terror on his face — cowers behind a Capitol officer pointing a gun at the door of the House chambers prepared for the insurrectionists to burst in after they stormed the Capitol on Jan, 6, 2021. 
  
  Republicans love to act tough until there is an actual tough situation. Then they hide and run away. Looks like Andrew Clyde attends the Josh Hawley school of being a scared little hypocrite >
  
  Boy, I hope that photo follows him around for the rest of his life >
  
  Holy fuck there's some brain-dead magadiots defending the fucker in that thread >
  
  In all threads unfortunately. The ability they all have to turn any topic literally any topic into an attack on maga and trump it’s almost respectable the amount of anger and ignorance that takes
  Edit: spelling >
  
  You're right. It can't be easy living in a perpetual state of manufactured outrage. To a degree I almost pity them >
  
  “In the photo, Clyde — a look of utter terror on his face — cowers behind a Capitol officer pointing a gun at the door of the House chambers prepared for the insurrectionists to burst in after they stormed the Capitol on Jan, 6, 2021.
  Clyde is also photographed helping shove furniture against the door to keep out the Donald Trump supporters. One Twitter wit suggested that maybe Clyde distribute lapel pins of barricades — not assault rifles — to his colleagues.”
  Article is worth reading especially for the tweets referenced. Great pictures. This “lawmaker” is a disgrace. >
  
  Well, at least by swapping the flag out for a gun, they are at least being honest about preferring the NRA over the country. >
  
  
  they are at least being honest about preferring the NRA over the country.
  
  The same NRA that was found to be funneling Russian oligarch money to US politicians? 
  You mean that NRA? >
  
  That very one!  Putin really has the GOP by the nads - the NRA, Tucker Carlson, Trump etc... good grief, Putin has made some strategic investments! >
  
  
  Putin has made some strategic investments!
  
  Except that Ukraine invasion isn’t getting any ROI. >
  
  Thank goodness!! >
  
  Democrats should make this into a pin >
  
  Should be top comment. Will be disappointed if no Dem congressperson does this. >
  
  The republican party is beyond parody at this point.  These people are such a bunch of hyper partisan fascist power grabbers it is beyond me why forty percent plus of this country does not see that they do not care about you or representing you.  They would rather play school ground bully's than actually do the job you send them there to do.  Thank god republicans took control, so that serious problems could get addressed and we not spend 2 years having republicans try to get pictures of Hunter's penis for some reason. >
  
  Frankly, many of them are just literally too stupid to understand. Like, they legitimately lack the intellectual capacity or processing power to fathom why the GOP is bad. >
  
  Than god help us all. >
  
  Sounds like some reps should wear pins with a picture of a terrified Clyde on them. >
  
  Guns are the new religion. >
  
  And sometimes, literally.
  
  The Rod of Iron Ministries has become more militant since leader Hyung Jin “Sean” Moon attended the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. 
  A religious sect known for worshipping with AR-15s and its MAGA politics has purchased a sprawling, 40-acre compound in central Texas, which it hopes will offer a safe-haven for “patriots” from what they believe is an imminent war brought by the “deep state,” VICE News has learned.  
  While Moon’s congregation, estimated to number in the hundreds, is relatively fringe, it’s a direct descendant of the much larger Unification Church, founded by his father, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah and accused cult leader whose adoring followers became known to outsiders as “Moonies.” >
  
  Don’t forget they own the Washington Times. >
  
  J6 was a few guns and crazies away from a government shooting. How you can experience this and not stand against it is beyond me >
  
  “Ain't nothing like a little fear to make a paper man crumble.” >
  
  The cowardice is only overshadowed by their hypocrisy. >
  
  The only time Republicans have been pro children is before they are born. Once they are born their  on their own. No child healthcare, no free lunches at school, no preschool funding and they did away with the child poverty reduction act. >
  
  Seems to me that you can photos like this on pins these days! >
  
  Jeezus, are these guys whispering "Hail Hydra" to each other now? >
  
  Can someone make a pin out of the terrified congressman? And one of Hawley running? They can be worn by congressman to remember j6 >
  
  Those pins are so disrespectful of anyone who has lost a loved one in a shooting incident. I can’t imagine how they think it’s cool. >
  
  While it does lack human decency, this is the GOP after all whose members have absolutely zero claim to either being fully human or decent. They fetishize weapons so it’s not at all surprising they’re handing out rifle-shaped pins to “own the libs”. It’s become predictable and has lost any means to shock, let alone “trigger” anyone. >
  
  They should be called suicide pins because these motherfuckers are asking for it. >
  
  Dems should turn that image into a pin and pass them out at the State of the Union. >
  
  Can someone start printing these images on shirts to sell please. I’d buy the Josh Hawleys run for his life image in a heart bear. Any of Paul gosar running sign me up >
  
  Anna Paulina Luna Tick >
  
  "I pledge allegiance to the firearm..." >
  
  Anna Paulina Gamberzsky (nee Mayerhoffer) goes by the surname “Luna” to appeal to the Hispanic community. LUNAtic is more suitable. She posed for Maxim and used to work at a strip club, which isn’t anything to be ashamed of. However, if you’re pushing “conservative family values” it seems very hypocritical. >
  
  Hypothetically speaking…. If this GOP guy with a gun, mowed down his fans on Jan 6th. How does that work out? >
  
  That cop is pointing a gun at his friends.  Of course he is terrified for them. >
  
  This headline hurt my brain.  I read it 4 times and still have no idea what it’s saying. >
  
  "Twitter critics respond to boast from GOP AR-15 pin distributor with photo of him cowering in fear on Jan 6th."
  It's a very clunky headline but I think the way they worded it was somehow the worst way to do it. >
  
  To be fair I bet that guy wanted an assault rifle in that moment.  But also that all the other people didn’t have them.
