Poll of the Day > Gun Shop Owner paints 4 Congresswomen as the 4 HORSEMEN of the APOCALYPSE!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

A New Billboard bought and owned by the owner of Cherokee Guns in North Carolina portrays Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her "squad" as the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse and labes them as "Idiots"..and he DEFENDS it by stating it's free speech!!

The billboard was then signed by the "Deplorables" as it shows the 4 women of the small town in Murphy with the "The 4 Horsemen Cometh" and a red line striking out the last word

It is reference to the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a symbolic prophecy from the biblical book of Revelation where the quartet are described as the harbringers of the end of the world.

The owner, who only wanted to be identified as "Doc" said he was has been THREATENED online but defended it and told dailymail "This is a very pro-Trump county" We have Trump dolls and hats in the store. The bottom line is i think these 4 women are anti-American"

Doc said there had been both positive and negative reaction and said "I didn't think i woud stir the pot and not have feedback. But everybody is entitled to their opinion. It's called the First Amendment. It's not racist. If these 4 girls were white women i would have put them up there too."

The Squad has been openly critical of Trump's foreign policy, tax reductions, environmental policy and other priorities of the administration

Cherokee Guns doubled down on the criticism and said "Alright my fellow infidels for Trump, due to OVERWHELMING demand, you may have to come by the shop (next week) and get your very own FOUR HORSEMEN COMETH STICKER. Tell us you're voting for Trump 2020, then get your limited edition bumper sticker!! (While Supplies Last!) Snowflakes and liberals are not eligible, sorry"

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has blasted the sign as dangerous writing "Disgusting anti-government violent rhetoric from Cherokee Guns in North Carolina".

Threats against members of Congress, particularly minority members are on the up and is driven by Trump's racial rehtoric

The man says he's known for controversial billboards and said people have said it was a good idea while others threaten to BURN IT DOWN.

Do you live in a "Pro-Trump District"?

Finally, something decent on a billboard.

Thankfully, no.

Oh... I thought it would be a cool painting at least

So I look at this... and I just find myself disturbed that a gun store is marketing itself with the pictures of politicians they do not like.

Yea, they aren't putting bullseyes over them or something... but it still feels like "targeting" them.

I've also never understood why conservatives who claim to not be "deplorables" use the term and put themselves on the same level as neo-nazis and stuff?

Which would be enough for that owner to call you a snowflake LOL.

GOP politicians and supporters (especially Trump) are cultivating an atmosphere of anger and resentment against anyone who doesn't blindly support them (but particularly Trump). The law of averages means that things like this WILL eventually affect the wrong person, and it'll be Gabby Giffords or Jo Cox all over again. And then the people who wrote/posted things like this will clutch their pearls and claim "But I never SAID anything bad should happen."
