MSNBC’s Frank Figliuzzi Echoes Obama ‘Bitter Clinger’ Rhetoric, Calls for Gun Ban

We do not yet have the details or motives behind the second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, but the cable talking heads are already calling out for one of the preferred items on the left’s policy pu-pu platter: gun control.

Watch as former Obama-era FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence and cuttent MSNBC Security Analyst Frank Figliuzzi says the line, calls for a gun grab, and spreads disinformation in the process:

FRANK FIGLIUZZI: There's something much larger here that I’ve got to get off my chest which is, I think, quite obvious. Look. This is now a second attempt against a presidential nominee. We can’t protect our schools. We can’t predict- we can’t protect a Secret Service protectee. We’ve heard an acting Secret Service director, after the Butler, Pennsylvania attempt, say publicly they are challenged in open carry states with regard to open air events. Have we reached the place in our society where the guns that we seem to cling to, particularly assault rifles- in this case an AK-47, have prevented us from now protecting ourselves and even the most protected people in our country? 

Of course, Florida is NOT an open carry state. But why let facts get in the way of some easy narrative? Figliuzzi is so committed to this idea that he even copycatted the god-king himself- echoing Obama's famous "bitter clingers" rhetoric to describe lawful gun owners.

It is not surprising that the Regie Media’s secondary impulse, having already blamed Trump for this aborted assassination attempt, is to cry out for gun control. But it is no less disgusting.
