GOP Challenger Joe Walsh Got Duped by Borat, Endorsed Giving Guns to American Toddlers
PJ Media ^ | 08/29/2019 | Jim Treacher

Earlier this week, former congressman and former MAGA-head Joe Walsh announced that he was challenging Donald Trump for the GOP nomination in 2020. Which is weird, because in 2016, Walsh was one of the guys yelling at cuck RINO traitors like me, who refused to vote for Trump because we probably wanted Hillary to get elected. Back then, Walsh was saying stuff like, "If Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket." He was all in. But apparently, riding proudly on the Trump Train didn't get Walsh the TV time he wanted, so now he's jumped off. Now he says Trump is the worst president ever and blah blah blah.

If you hate Trump so much that you can't think about anyone or anything else, maybe Walsh looks like a good alternative. But he sure does bring a lot of baggage with him. Walsh has said a whole bunch of stupid crap over the years, and this latest item might be the most amusing yet.

Newly minted presidential candidate Joe Walsh this week falsely denied he had endorsed the arming of small American children on tape. Walsh, a former one-term congressman from Illinois who is challenging President Trump in the Republican primaries, was shown on comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s 2018 Showtime show “Who Is America?” extolling the virtues of a program that would arm children between the ages of 4 and 12 years old. Walsh claims that he only endorsed this "KinderGuardians" program, which is fake, because he thought it was for Israeli children only. He says he never endorsed bringing it to the United States.

Sacha Baron Cohen wants to correct the record:

CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO. Here’s what Joe Walsh said:

______________________________________________________

“I endorse the KinderGuardians program for all schools in America. When armed guards and armed teachers have, God forbid, been taken out, why should children be left with absolutely no means of defending themselves? Never has an American generation been more equipped with the necessary hand-eye coordination to shoot. If a child can pull the trigger of a video-game controller or a Nerf gun, he can pull the trigger of an Uzi. It’s obvious. The intensive three-week KinderGuardian course introduces specially selected children from 12 to 4 years old to pistols, rifles, semi-automatics, and a rudimentary knowledge of mortars. In less than a month, a first grader can become a first grenader. Toddlers do not understand the consequences of their actions, meaning that, again, saving vital time, they will kill without hesitation, then kill again, until all the bad guys are gone. You know what? It’s pretty straightforward. When it comes to the safety of our children, the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good child with a gun. Happy shooting, kids.”

______________________________________________________

So Joe Walsh is a real-life Ron Burgundy. Anything you put on that teleprompter, he will read.

The sound track and video has obviously been doctored, but it is pretty funny. No traitorous idiot is more deserving of this type of treatment.

All of us here in the mountains [at the age of 6] learned to hit a tin can dead center at 50 yards with a 22:

Nothin new:

1775 “Events which served to shew [sic] that if the Americans were yet unacquainted with military discipline they were not destitute of either courage or conduct but knew well and dared to avail themselves of such advantages as they possessed. The people of the colonies are accustomed to the use of fire arms from their earliest youth and are in general good marksmen. Such men placed in a house behind a wall or amongst trees are capable of doing as much execution as regular soldiers. And to these advantages which they possessed during the greatest part of the nineteenth of April we may attribute the inconsiderable loss sustained by them compared with that of our detachments.” Stedman, p.120
``The History of the Origin, Progress, and Termination of the .American War,” Stedman, C. 1794, Volume 1

Must be some o`them dang dam city slickers tryin to call the shots agin

What kind of nimrod would get up and read on tape something he hadn’t seen before? Wouldn’t bells have gone off at least at the phrase, “a rudimentary knowledge of mortars”? Mortars? Maybe Walsh has reading comprehension problems.

I’m sure the Cruzbots/Never Trump/Japanese soldiers hiding out on islands in the Pacific/IQ of 2 brigades are happy they have a choice to make a “principled” vote for.
