Governor Kristi Noem Reassures NRA Audience That Her 2-Year-Old Granddaughter Already Has a Shotgun and Rifle: The Girl is Set Up
The clip was from Fridays NRA-ILA Leadership Forum in Indiana and the video quickly began circulating Twitter via The Recount.
During her speech, Noem talked about her grandchildren.
Little Miss Addie, who is almost two, and Branch whos just a few months old, they have brought us so much joy. Theyve brought us purpose, Noem explained.
Now Addie, who you know soon will need them, I wanna reassure you, she already has a shotgun and she already has a rifle and shes got a little pony named Sparkles too. So the girl is set up, Noem added.
According to her office, Noem signed an executive order in the middle of her speech, designed to further protect the 2nd Amendment rights of South Dakotans. She was joined on stage by the NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.

(1,127 posts)Whatever has caused these walking braindead zombie magats is not normal. It's a strategic campaign to deliberately hollow out Americans' intelligence and ability to reason, starting with Reagan's inanities but with foundations of the path to contemptible charlatans like Trump and DeSantis well laid even before then to begin gutting education and social welfare.
It's a twenty first century tragedy with almost unfathomable consequences, but the process is probably not much different in form to imperial/social collapses throughout history. Once propaganda and deception (aka 'gaslighting') becomes the norm in any political structure, it's bound to collapse, sooner or later.

(1,127 posts)That pandering to gun-loving loons by pretending it's a priority to arm a 2 year old girl with a rifle and a shotgun is now a prerequisite to nominating for one of the major parties.
It's beyond a joke. It's just incredibly sad.

(7,035 posts)the crazy nutbags at the convention and those who follow these lunatics here on DU and elsewhere won't ever know about this. The "news" has become 15 second sound bites and fluff stories. No time for any real information.
