LEMON DROP | Is The GOP Trying To Take Guns?!

from The Don Lemon Show · host Lemon Media Network

For decades, Republicans have treated the Second Amendment like it was carved into stone tablets, sacred, untouchable, and immune to compromise. But apparently, there’s a loophole: being transgender. Donald Trump’s GOP, the same party that cheers open carry in churches and defends AR-15s in grocery stores, is now considering whether gender dysphoria should disqualify someone from owning a firearm. Instead of tackling the actual gun violence crisis, they’re targeting less than one percent of the U.S. population. Don breaks down the hypocrisy, the cruelty, and the dangerous precedent of this latest attack on transgender Americans. Because once again, the GOP isn’t interested in real solutions, it’s about power, control, and weaponizing fear. This episode is brought to you by DeleteMe.
