Patriotic Guns

 Florida Representative Matt Gaetz graciously introduced an accused murderer at the House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing of the session, according to The Daily Beast. “It is my pleasure and distinct honor to introduce to the committee Staff Sergeant Corey Ryan Beekman, an American hero and a constituent of mine residing in Pensacola, Florida,” After Beekman allegedly shot two people in a home in Mason County, Michigan—and allegedly killed one of them, 32-year-old Billy Buchanan—he was arrested. However, Beekman has never been tried in court, as his charges were “dismissed without prejudice” on September 22, 2020 because the woman who was shot refused to testify, and she was the only witness in the case. However, the “dismissed without prejudice” charge leaves the door open for a future suit.  (Vanity Fair) 

The same batch of Insurrectionists approving and applauding the attempted Coup of January 6th, are now pretending that they actually are the WHITE PICKET FENCE/MOTHERHOOD/APPLE PIE all-American heroes, by proclaiming that each and every meeting they conduct will start with the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I must beg the question for all these Seditionists, exactly to whom are they pledging their allegiance!

 

Rep. Eric Swalwell lambasted his colleague, tweeting:  From the party that parades Kyle Rittenhouse around as a mascot… Seems guns if held in the hands of MAGA minions, are A-Okay. The family of the deceased Billy Buchanan, grew even angrier as Gaetz also proudly mentioned that he  ( Beekman) was a prominent member of a local Florida gun club, “[It] was like a knife to the heart for our family,” Billy Buchanan’s mother, Denita Buchanan told a local Northern Michigan news station after seeing Beekman being honored on Capitol Hill. “It was devastating to know that somebody with this hanging over their head was being praised as a veteran, a hero.” (Vanity Fair).
