National Rifle Association president Carolyn Meadows told the Marietta Daily Journal that Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) only won her seat in 2018 because she’s black.
Said Meadows: “It is wrong to say like McBath said, that the reason she won was because of her anti-gun stance. That didn’t have anything to do with it — it had to do with being a minority female.”
McBath unseated Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA) on an anti-gun violence platform based on her backstory: Her son was shot and killed in 2012 after a loudness complaint.
