The National Rifle Association’s new president, Carolyn Meadows, came at Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.) with some racist and sexist remarks in a recent interview, suggesting the congresswoman won her November election because she’s a black woman.

Meadows, who is from Georgia, told the Marietta Daily Journal that “we’ll get that seat back,” in reference to McBath’s congressional seat in the 6th District.

“But it is wrong to say like McBath said, that the reason she won was because of her anti-gun stance,” Meadows said in the interview, published Sunday. “That didn’t have anything to do with it ― it had to do with being a minority female.”

“And the Democrats really turned out,” she added. “And that’s the problem we have with conservatives — we don’t turn out as well.”

McBath, a political newcomer, defeated Republican incumbent Karen Handel in November in a major upset. (Handel had famously beaten heavily funded Democrat Jon Ossoff in a 2017 special election.) McBath won in the suburban Atlanta district ― long a Republican stronghold ― after campaigning on a bold gun control platform.

McBath, now 58, was a spokeswoman for gun safety group Moms Demand Action before running for office. She became an advocate for gun control after a white man complaining about loud music shot and killed her 17-year-old son, Jordan Davis, at a Florida gas station in 2012.

In a series of tweets Monday, the lawmaker responded to the NRA:

“Hi NRA! It’s time we clear something up. I won this race because - after my son was senselessly murdered in 2012 - I stood up to do something about it,” McBath wrote, adding that her work on gun violence and other issues is “just starting.”

“And yes - as a woman of color I am proud to be part of the most diverse class in American history,” she added, referring to the 116th Congress, which included more women and people of color than ever before.
