Mayor joked about watching reporters cry like little girls as he pointed machine gun at them

Last year, Bob Buckhorn stood on a Navy warfare boat and fired blanks from a .50-caliber machine gun as a crowd watched. The Tampa mayor was just “rescued” from his mock captors as part of a military demonstration in Florida.

At this year’s Special Operations Forces Industry Conference, Buckhorn talked about that experience and joked about pointing the machine gun at reporters at the 2016 event.

“I’ve never seen grown men cry like little girls, for when that gun goes off those media folks just hit the deck like no one’s business,” Buckhorn said in his opening remarks Tuesday, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s great payback. I love it.”
