Ahead of Trump’s debate Tuesday night with Vice President Kamala Harris, several Democratic groups issued a joint statement denouncing the watch party. The groups included Voters of Tomorrow, College Democrats of America, Leaders We Deserve, College Democrats of Georgia, Georgia High School Democrats, Young Democrats of Georgia, Path to Progress and Blue Future.

“Just days after students and teachers were murdered in Apalachee High School, Republicans are hosting a debate watch party an hour away at the world’s largest gun store,” the statement said, according to The Guardian. “The Trump team is evil for disrespecting the victims like this — and by continually refusing to support life-saving gun violence prevention policies.”

The gun store is an eye roller. The location of that gun store should infuriate gun owners.

Sounds about par for the course. They will then go out and work to ban books about living at peace with your neighbor.

“near” is an hour away? Fuck off with this noise. There are actual bad things Republicans are doing that we should be talking about. Not this.

I’m with you on that detail. How far away is far enough away to satisfy people with decorum? Two hours? Six? Twelve?

The WTF here is that a watch party is happening at a gun store, not where that gun store is.

Still though, is anyone surprised that the party that openly embraces gun culture does things that embrace gun culture?

When it takes three days to cross the country, near is an hour away.
