Forbes reports:
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) tweeted a Christmas photo of his family Saturday in which they’re all holding guns and smiling in front of a Christmas tree, with the caption: “Merry Christmas! ps. Santa, please bring ammo,” days after a mass shooting at a Michigan high school sparked renewed calls for gun control measures.
In the photo, Massie appears to be holding an M60 machine gun seated next to his youngest daughter, who sports an Uzi, while his wife, three other children and another man hold assault-style rifles. Last month, Massie retweeted a video of the not-guilty verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, with the caption, “There is hope for this country.”

There are no words to adequately describe how evil and soulless the Republican Party is. They won’t stop until your child is shot dead in school. Vote every single one of these radical extremists out of power. https://t.co/mmvK6SnFQt

Much of what’s wrong in America is perfectly captured right here in this photo. Death merchants in a murder cult. A whole family of them. The worst. https://t.co/9XUOculbG0

Midterms are generally defined by whether swing voters think one party or the other is too extreme, and how the economy is going. I think we have the beginning of a strong case to make, on both counts. https://t.co/TUyCBpArP7

Like I said, Republicans are fomenting a violent insurgency. This is a picture literally unimaginable in any other Western democracy.

Our media chooses not to cover this as terrorism because they want you to think the party that incubates this terrorism is full of good honorable people https://t.co/KsNv2bjWWA

Celebrating gun culture with the kids in the immediate aftermath of this week’s school shootings. This is a real middle finger to the many many many victims of gun nuts and their families. https://t.co/HOn7mCyN0v
