Meghan McCain: Armed Protesters Are Totally Normal

Read more here:

"A trio of far-right, pro-gun provocateurs is behind some of the largest Facebook groups calling for anti-quarantine protests around the country, offering the latest illustration that some seemingly organic demonstrations are being engineered by a network of conservative activists.

The Facebook groups target Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and they appear to be the work of Ben Dorr, the political director of a group called “Minnesota Gun Rights,” and his siblings, Christopher and Aaron. By Sunday, the groups had roughly 200,000 members combined, and they continued to expand quickly, days after President Trump endorsed such protests by suggesting citizens should “liberate” their states."

White People heavily Armed doing protests
Meghan - " it's perfectly normal."
Black athlete silently kneels down in protest
Meghan -" HOW HE ?"

[holdenmuganda]

But Kaepernick taking a knee is he worst thing that’s ever been perpetrated against America....smh

[ALMOSTUNITED]

Who knew taking a knee is much more obscene than being armed with an AK while protesting💀

I am an American, from the deep south. I want people in other countries to know that this is not "normal, " despite what McCain said. A group of angry people swarming the streets with guns should not be regarded as normal in any peaceful society.

[basicindiebro]

but i bet these people would be disgusted and scared if Black armed protestors showed up to anything

[lemarrthomas]

Can you imagine if these protesters were Black, Latino or Muslim?

[sirisaacmormont]

Imagine a group of black men “protesting” with guns in front of the capitol building. 🤦🏿‍♂️

It's perfectly fine for the protesters to be armed, unless the protesters are black. - Megan McCain

[matwinner]

Carrying a gun in a protest....so you mean if we don’t agree with you, you’re gonna commit murder? Isn’t that some kind of crime or offence?

[jamesbondero]

Very normal for her and legal unless they are African Americans, Asian, Mexican etc.

[LJ_nowandalways]

Do I need to purchase a bullet proof vest to go out in public now?

[ralzdiplomat]

But she's terrified of Bernie Bros on Twitter...

[YoYo_Ma]

This is a ploy to get folks off unemployment insurance. If your employer decides they are open for business but you refuse to work, you're not qualified for unemployment insurance.

[OfficialWizzop]

If Black ppl did any of this shit...yall already know the outcome!

[tekenja]

But kneeling silently and peacefully is disrespectful and dangerous...ok

[tiecollins]

You jumped out of the subject. Megan McCain is okay with armed protesters; as long as they're Republican white protesters.

Guns maybe a signifier of [America] culture, but slavery was also once a signifier of American culture—just because it is practised does not make it ethical.

[sean-hufo]

Remember Meghans reaction to Colin Kaepernicks peaceful protest, unforgettable. Now she sees these law-breakers, as quite normal. Wow!

[puravida]

Really, gun toting protesters are normal today, the FBI did not think so when it came to the Black Panther Party.

[fishpirate]

But if a black takes a knee it is the end of the world
