Lawmakers sparked controversy by wearing pearl necklaces as they listened to activists share stories of gun violence at the New Hampshire House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Activists from Moms Demand Action were describing their experiences of gun violence at a hearing for a “red flag” bill that would help restrict firearms access to people deemed to pose an immediate risk to themselves or others, the Post reported. Watts published photographs of the hearing online in a post shared by more than 3,000 users, including survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
The pictures prompted outrage among other social media users. “I had to double check that this was in our country. Where legislators mock constituents,” wrote user Sandy Griebe.
The men wore the pearls because a WOMEN's group asked them to. These women empower other women. Newsweek did not reach out to that group for comment. Shannon lied, and news knew it. They ran with it any way. ShannonWattsLies
This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen
It was Fat Tuesday. That's why they were wearing beads. Newsweek: liars.
Low class
Wat a stretch. Newsweek is but a shell of its former self. No wonder the deterioration seeing ‘articles’ like this.
What a disrespectful travesty...
