During a discussion on ABC\u2019s \u201cthe View,\u201d the regular cohost weighed in on the former Texas Democratic Congressman\u2019s recent exit from the 2020 presidential primary. Meghan McCain first mentioned O\u2019Rourke\u2019s position on gun buybacks, arguing that it may have played a role in his decline in popularity…
\u201cHe got a ton of Obama staff, and I\u2019ll also say his stance on gun buybacks, Mayor Pete said it was \u2018a shiny object that distracts from achievable gun reform,’\u201d McCain continued. \u201cChris Coons said it wasn\u2019t a wise policy move and \u2018that clip will be played for years at 2nd Amendment rallies with organizations to try to scare people to say Democrats are coming for your guns.\u2019 He made a speech about religious institutions get their tax status removed from them because they didn\u2019t support same-sex marriage. He did a lot of, like, battleground culture war, and he ran as the most left, most \u2018woke\u2019 candidate and look where he ended up.\u201d
\u201cThey should not tell everything they\u2019re going to do,\u201d Behar jumped in then, suggesting that candidates shouldn\u2019t warn Americans the gun confiscation was coming. \u201cIf you are going to take people\u2019s guns away, wait until you get elected and then take them away. Don\u2019t tell them ahead of time.\u201d
McCain pushed back, adding, \u201cBy the way, that\u2019s what people like me think you\u2019re going to do, so I appreciate his honesty.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

…a prog lets the truth slip out. “Beto” O’Rourke, fake Latino beneficiary of a fake “Beto-mania” and former Presidential candidate – screwed up and told the truth behind Big Left’s approach to guns; they want them.
