I keep seeing "the three B's"... Why isn't Booker invited to the B party?
Just reread the article. Apparently, Senator Harris isn't the only 2020 Democratic candidate who owns guns. Apparently, the three B's (Beto, Biden, and Buttigieg) own them, too. I wonder why Peter Funt, the writer of the piece, didn't call THEM out for it?

I use the (deliberately derisive) nickname "The Three B's" to call attention to the fact that a certain segment of the Democratic Party is intentionally centering mediocre/inexperienced white men over all the women in the race. Booker is a black man and he's being overlooked, too
-
Biden is inexperienced? I don't support Biden but, come on. Progressives trashing each other is instead of focusing on the issues is really not going to help anyone.
-
Beto and Buttigieg are...
-
Well, be more specific next time instead of engaging in personal attacks. How about you focus on the issues and what the candidates stand for?
-
You know what I love? White men jumping into my replies/mentions and then ordering me to phrase things more to their liking. One of the more irritating aspects of Twitter...

It’s a terrible op-ed, but Funt clearly points out that both Buttigieg and O’Rourke own inoperable antiques. It’s literally in the same paragraph you brought up. Why tweet something so misleading?
-
Never said he didn't mention it. What I'm complaining about is the fact that the piece almost exclusively focused on Kamala's gun ownership.
-
And you knew that BEFORE ypu tweeted.

I think this piece must be some kind of meta-psyops. Dont think Funt cares about this issue at all. Its meant cleverly make it seem that the mainstream Dem position is absolute ban of handguns.
-
In 2017, Funt, who self-identified as a "progressive" in the USA Today piece wrote a piece praising Donald Trump.
-
Funt, who is nearly 75 and has never had a relevant job unconnected to his father

I’m a gun owner who favors gun control. Lots of Democrats are. So it’s a bad argument as well as a sexist double standard IMHO.
-
And racist. The whole gun control thing was always centered around the “problem” of black people also wanting 2nd amendment rights.
-
Misogynoir--anti-black racism and sexism rolled up into one shitty package.

Oh, for god sakes, she was an AG for SF and the state of California! Did he forget that? How many threats do you think they get in a year? Personally, I think it makes her kind of bad-assed and prepared to defend herself,for good reason.
-
And, remember, Kamala Harris was one of the people Cesar Sayoc mailed bombs to last fall. Kamala DEFINITELY needs that gun. -
Oh, I forgot that!

Beto has always said he owned one he said while running for Senator last year the others they should have said something
-
Kamala did self-identify as a gun owner. The writer of the USA Today piece admitted as such.
