The Vigilante “Justice” Award

So this week, MTG decided to nominate Kyle Rittenhouse for the Congressional Gold Medal in H.R.6070. Kyle Rittenhouse, in case you’ve forgotten, left his state, acquired an AR-15, and then proceeded to a riot a state away that was already in progress allegedly in order to protect the property of a friend of his family. This led to the murders of 2 men and injury of a third. In the best case, this is vigilante justice. In the worse, he was looking for some liberals to kill. Either way, this hardly qualifies for the Congressional Gold Medal. For context, the first Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to George Washington in 1776. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think George Washington when I think of Kyle Rittenhouse. You can see the bill here, and read it closely. The language is precise and planned and intends to paint a picture that doesn’t take into account everything that transpired.

Also, MTG is a co-sponsor of H.R.1095, which attempts to declare the AR-15 the “National Gun of the United States.” Ignoring that an AR-15 is a weapon and not a gun, what’s striking to the Right and Freedom host is that our taxpayer dollars were spent on her time authoring and pushing legislation that’s ornamental in nature and completely asinine on the face of it. America has never had, nor needed a national gun.
