GOP lawmakers in the House are tearing apart a Senate gun control package crafted by a bipartisan group of senators, lashing out at fellow Republicans who support the legislation in the process.
Rep. Lauren Boebert , co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus, called the 14 Senate Republicans who voted to advance the legislation on Tuesday RINOs — Republicans in name only.
“We did not anticipate that we will be playing defense against the Republican senators on preserving the Second Amendment,” said Rep. Thomas Massie , the other co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus. But it drew opposition from the top two House GOP leaders on Wednesday and is likely to be opposed by the vast majority of the conference.
Rep. Dan Bishop said that McConnell is playing to the ideological middle in order to build a slim majority.
