Did anyone see Killer Mike's interview with NRATV?

[Blue_true]

Dude is a flat out gun nut.

[Gothmog]

1. Who is surprised by this?

[ismnotwasm]

2. I read about it

I can’t say I’m surprised.

[brush]

3. You mean the guy who backed Bernie Sanders is a gun nut?

I hadn't heard about this interview. Is there a link? Did he come out against today's march?

[Blue_true]

6. He came out big against the march and last week's walkout. nt

[brush]

13. So his pro-Sanders/progressive stance during the primary season was...

all just postering.

[Blue_true]

14. He considers himself progressive on other issues.

But his virulence on guns was stunning.

[brush]

17. There is such a thing as pro-gun control gun owners. Wonder if that has crossed...

his mind?

[Blue_true]

25. Did not seem that way.

I really have no use for guns, but I am ok with other people having them if:

They go through a robust background check through an up to date database that look at criminal records and have at least a notation about any mental health issues.

The guns are registered. I am willing to compromise on this one.

The owners take responsibility for securing the guns so that they can't be stolen or used by kids.

[brush]

29. I'm with you on that. I would add insurance for each gun purchased. But funded...

by contributions by gun manufacturers, gun dealers and gun owners from which damages to gun victims will be paid.

With this fund, and registration, purchasers, dealers and manufacturers will not be liable for damages.

The fund will also cover damages from recovered stolen guns used in crimes.

47. I'm one of them -- there are a lot of us

[Cha]

18. Also the guy who said trump and Hillary are exactly

the same.

So WTF does he know?

Killer Mike says Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are exactly the same

4. Who is Killer Mike?

Context, please ?

[Blue_true]

7. He did an interview with NRATV.

Where he praised Dana Loesch, said the school walkout was foolish, said his home is a gun owning home and his daughter at college need to arm herself, called out the marchers that were marching today, said that he was opposed to gun control and that the Second Amendment protects any type of gun.

[janx]

10. Thanks for the explanation. n/t

[RhodeIslandOne]

33. A gangster rapper telling kids to know their place

Wow, fight the power, right asshole?

[Blue_true]

8. He is a rapper.

He robustly supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary.

[oasis]

16. I recall the famous SOUL FOOD photo op at Killer Mike's favorite cafe.

After that, Killer and Bernie did a few rallies together, then Mike faded back into obscurity for the most part. Now he rears his NRA brainwashed head to knock a bunch of great kids who deserve a ton of credit for their efforts.

Maybe because he chooses to call himself "Killer Mike" he feels obligated to become the darling of the NRA. In any case, Bernie's gotta dump this guy, muy pronto, if he's thinking about getting into the 2020 Dem primaries.

[brush]

20. Sanders' voting record on gun issues is not that great. He's gonna have a big...

problem rewriting that if he decides to run in 2020.

[oasis]

22. It's gonna be awkward slamming the door on Killer Mike.

Just saying.

[SidDithers]

23. Ha Ha Goodman thought Killer Mike was a big deal...

Atlanta’s Killer Mike Just Helped Bernie Sanders Win the White House in 2016




Sid

[betsuni]

27. I forgot about the SOUL FOOD!

[SidDithers]

30. You nailed the capitalization...

Well played.

Sid

[comradebillyboy]

19. He was a Bernie surrogate in 2016

[uponit7771]

5. Fuckin wow

[Blue_true]

9. Pretty much what I thought. nt

[VOX]

11. Loves Bernie AND firearms. An unusual demographic.

Maybe. Who knows anymore?
M-R(ussia)-G-A 🇷🇺

[revmclaren]

12. From 'Rolling Stone'...

Wow!



This is NOT a Progressive stance!

[RhodeIslandOne]

32. Colion Noir is the same shithead who insulted the Parkland Kids today

Great company “Killer Mike” keeps

[obamanut2012]

48. He wears an "End Racism" shirt, and supports the NT+RA

JFC.

[SaschaHM]

15. He should just try to solve the NK crisis.

That's more likely than him, Dana Loesch, and the NRA convincing African Americans that the NRA gives a damn about us.

[Blue_true]

21. The NRA cares about African Americans.

Not having as many guns per household as Whites. They freaked in the 60's and supported gun control because of groups like the Black Panthers walking around with guns.

[JI7]

24. He was also dismissive of the Russian Attack on the election. i wonder if he is a Putin troll

considering that russia may have funded the nra and his dismissing the attack on the election.

he also did the no difference between clinton and trump shit.

[Blue_true]

26. Wow, I missed the Russian interference dismissal stuff. nt

[Initech]

28. That was totally inappropriate for today.

Here we are uniting for a cause of, um, not wanting to get shot, and here this asshole is going on NRA TV and praising the second amendment. I normally like Run The Jewels, but that was absolutely shameful.

[Blue_true]

31. His partner distanced himself from Mike. nt

[orleans]

34. fuck him and the nra. n/t

[lunamagica]

35. I'd never heard of this guy until he campaigned for Sanders. I had completely forgotten about him

[Cha]

38. Killer doesn't know wtf he's talking about..

Killer Mike says Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are exactly the same

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/killer-mike-says-donald-trump-and-hillary-clinton-are-exactly-the-same/

:Luna

[lunamagica]

39. Imagine that, Cha. I'm glad ne was never on our side

[Cha]

40. I know right!

[ucrdem]

36. Bernie Sanders, Cornel West, Killer Mike and Nina Turner on Jan. 18, 2016

https://clture.org/bernie-sanders-dr-cornel-west-killer-mike-and-nina-turner-discuss-the-legacy-of-dr-martin-luther-king/

Are we sure it's the same Killer Mike?

[Blue_true]

42. Yes, sure. The video is on the web. I am not a big video person, read print copy. nt

[radius777]

37. KM is an uninformed clown who doesn't get that

the NRA is a far-right white identity organization that has nothing to do with responsible gun ownership or self defense.

[Blue_true]

43. I doubt that he thought about it that deeply.

He does have some good causes, like police being quick to shot black and brown people.

My guess is he just like guns and fell into an NRA trap by doing the interview. There are several DU members who appear to like working with guns, I have no issue with guns other that they should not be available to a lot of people that can easily buy them.

[OhioBlue]

41. If you call yourself "Killer Mike", I'm not sure you're the best choice

to speak out AGAINST gun control..... just sayin'

[Blue_true]

44. LOL, that concept crossed my mind. nt

[lame54]

45. Is he tired of selling albums to young people?

[Blue_true]

46. Look like it. nt
