In wearing an AR-15 lapel, U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde triggered no one, but he did reveal his...
U.S. Reps. Andrew Clyde and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the gentleman and gentlewoman of Georgia, are two lawmakers that represent the worst of our politics.Art of the Gentleman is a sartorial website advertising itself as “home to the Gentleman Set that was curated by your resident gentlemen, sure to make your dapper days easy.”
In the U.S. Congress, members are fond of referring to each other as “the gentleman or gentlewoman from” their respective home state, even if there’s little evidence the subjects are worthy of such a dignified description. A gentleman would have considered the criticism, perhaps offered, at least, a halfhearted apology and replaced the AR-15 lapel pin with something that isn’t deeply connected to the immeasurable grief it frequently spills across American communities.
Clyde was also wrong for thinking that his sporting of the AR-15 lapel pins only bothered his Democratic colleagues. They represent something very specific and painful to families who have lost loved ones to the pulling of AR-style triggers. There are myriad commonsense policies that would reduce gun violence and that enjoy broad support — universal background checks, gun storage requirements, assault weapons bans, red flag laws — but extreme partisanship keeps these policies in abeyance while figures like Clyde grandstand and ignore our national sorrow.
