Over the past few days, Ralph Norman’s appalling lack of judgment, disrespect for women, and complete lack of common decency have been on full display as he attempts to justify his decision to pull out a loaded gun during a meeting with the South Carolina chapter of Moms Demand Action.
Instead of doing the right thing and apologizing to the women who were in the meeting, Norman has attacked them as a “fringe lunatic group,” and made clear he has no remorse saying, “I’m going to do it again. I’m going to use it as an example.”
“The fact that Congressman Norman not only fails to comprehend that he did anything wrong by pulling out a loaded gun during a constituent meeting, but has said he will do it again, should raise serious questions about his ability to serve the people of South Carolina,” said DCCC Spokesperson Amanda Sherman.
