“Merry Christmas! PS: Santa, please bring ammunition, “said the message he posted on Twitter on Saturday to accompany the snapshot
Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has generated a major controversy in the US for a controversial Christmas pose that has injured the families of shooting victims. The Kentucky legislator, oblivious to the clamor about the need to exercise greater control of firearms to avoid massacres, has not hesitated to photograph himself strongly armed and smiling with six members of his family. “Merry Christmas! PS: Santa, please bring ammunition, “read the message he posted on Twitter on Saturday to accompany the snapshot.
Massie’s end-of-the-year holiday post sparked a swift outcry, led by parents of school shooting victims and fellow lawmakers, who accused him of callousness days after a teenager gunned down four classmates. a high school in Oxford, Michigan. Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed in the deadliest school shooting in US history in Parkland, Florida, in 2018, responded bluntly. “@RepThomasMassie, since we are sharing family photos, here are mine,” he wrote. “One is the last photo I took of Jaime, the other is where he is buried,” he said. “Shameful,” wrote John Yarmuth, a Kentucky congressman for the Democratic ranks.
