It was Wednesday that CNN’s Chris Cuomo called it “a lot of bunk” that anyone was calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment, despite former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calling for exactly that in The New York Times just the day before.

this is a lot of bunk. no one calling for 2A repeal. stop with the bogeymen. we need to stop the shootings and have a rational conversation about what can be done. https://t.co/P2MYoY4EtO — Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) March 28, 2018

Plenty of people retweeted Stevens’ op-ed, including Louisiana Democratic Party Chairwoman and state Senator Karen Carpenter Peterson, who serves as the vice chair of civic engagement and voter participation for the Democratic National Committee:

Repeal the Second Amendment https://t.co/iAIJGmWtlR — KarenCarterPeterson (@TeamKCP) March 27, 2018

Considering that “no one” is calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment, we sure are hearing a lot of people arguing for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

Nothing to see here just a Democratic representative calling for repeal on the 2nd amendment. https://t.co/OrTMZLKw19 — YVONNE?? (@Infidel_Yvonne) March 31, 2018

Chairwoman of the Democrat Party of Louisiana, Karen Carter Peterson, shares her radical leftist position on guns. "Repeal the Second Amendment" https://t.co/qFeXIm5p82 — Ryan Saavedra ?? (@RealSaavedra) March 30, 2018

This is the chair of the *Louisiana* Democrat party. Louisiana's current governor is a Dem and I can't imagine he's too happy about this considering he's up for reelection next year https://t.co/71X6dex84Q — Zach Faria (@ZacharyFaria) March 29, 2018

Thank you @TeamKCP for showing us that liberals in fact DO want to repeal the #SecondAmendment

And also thank you for showing us that it is people like YOU that the Second Amendment is so important. #GunGrabber https://t.co/qP5SzgMOwO — Dennis (@DennisInAmerica) March 30, 2018

Here you have it folks, they want to repeal the 2A. Don't fall for some Democrats propaganda now "backing off", they don't really want to do that. Remember this come November. https://t.co/63U318ujA2 — Aulona Bushi Capaj (@AulonaBC) March 30, 2018

Spread this around. I can't tell you how many liberals have told me that "no one wants to repeal the second amendment". Vote her out! https://t.co/7v86zZBOzt — Roger Allen (@RDA62) March 30, 2018

So here is another lib wanting to repeal the 2A. They will be coming out of the woodwork now. It isn't about semi automatics at all. https://t.co/e0n7hKKwW1 — Don't Burn This Flag (@LoveofOldGlory) March 30, 2018

According to the USA Today Network, Peterson’s views are not shared by the Louisiana Democratic Party:

But Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Stephen Handwerk told USA Today Network the state party is “a strong supporter of the Second Amendment” that protects Americans’ rights to bear arms. When asked if the tweet was reflective of the party’s position or Peterson’s, Handwerk said, “Of course not.”

Of course not.
