National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre said Thursday while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference that he still wants to debate President Barack Obama on gun policy.
“We know a liar when we see one. We also know a political coward when we see one. You know, President Obama, he’s never going to debate me on guns,” LaPierre said. “His knowledge on that issue couldn’t fill a thimble and he knows it. I would clean his clock and he knows it.”
LaPierre had turned down the chance to participate alongside Obama in a CNN town hall discussion on guns in January. Instead, he offered for the President to join him in a “a one-on-one, one-hour debate.”
The White House hasn’t responded to that offer, he said.
“So he’ll keep hiding behind his podium in rigged appearances, like all the other truth-dodging politicians,” LaPierre said, standing at a lectern himself. “Then he’ll lecture us on what’s wrong with our rights, while day by day all over this country, more and more people grow more and more disgusted, enraged and determined to just throw them all out.”
No response required. Even responding at all elevates Crazy Wayne’s importance, which is all this nonsense from him is designed to do…pretend he’s on par with or on the same level as Obama, important enough for he POTUS to debate personally. He’s not. He’s not even on the level of Bo’s steamy lawn mines.
I would love to hear such a debate. Obama would take him apart. But as Sniffit pointed out, it should never take place. So I guess Wayne is going to be stuck cleaning his Glock.
Just like when Cecile Richards got to debate George W right? This guy’s picture is right next to Schmuck in the dictionary
I’m sure he does know more. Like what weapon would have been more effective at Sandy Hook.
Catheters cause the best of us to be a bit grumpy.
