Gaetz fails to support Kinder-Guardian program

Posted on July 16, 2018

Rep. Matt Gaetz failed to support the Kinder-Guardian program, “an intensive three-week introduces specially selected children from 12 to 4 years old to pistols, rifles, semiautomatics and a rudimentary knowledge of mortars.”

The program is an invention of Sacha Baron Cohen who tricked several GOP leaders and NRA supporters for his Showtime show Who Is America?

Sacha Baron Cohen recruited endorsements as Col. Erran Morad, an Israeli anti-terror expert with an answer to America’s scourge of deadly mass shootings–arming kids.

When asked to support the program that could turn a first-grader to a hand grenader, Gaetz asked, “You want me to say on television that I support 3- and 4-year-olds with firearms? Is that what you’re asking me to do?”

He didn’t endorse it.
