Most have seen the story by now that has been shared by the Washington Free Beacon, The Daily Wire, The Truth About Guns, and of course, Delegate Freitas and his wife, Tina (it‘s his pinned tweet).
From the Washington Free Beacon link:
Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts shared a fake photograph to attack GOP congressional hopeful Nick Freitas in a now-deleted Thursday tweet.
Freitas, an Army veteran, is running to unseat freshman representative Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.), who is backed by prominent gun-control groups, including Moms Demand Action. Watts, who founded the group in 2012, falsely accused Freitas of promoting a t-shirt that bears the Moms Demand Action logo, but features stick figures engaged in various acts of sexual congress and depravity. The Thursday tweet, which Watts has since deleted, included a fundraising plea in support of Spanberger.
Freitas responded to the attack Thursday, accusing Watts of engaging in "politics of slander" to bolster her candidate.
"Not only is this ‘tweet' verifiably fake, but she used it to slander my wife," Freitas said in a tweet. "If they can't win on issues, they engage in the politics of slander + personal destruction." He went on to ask Spanberger if she stood behind the "lies your allies @MomsDemand are spreading to raise money for you." Spanberger has not addressed Watts's tweet and did not respond to a request for comment.
The t-shirt in question was designed by Mom-At-Arms, a Second Amendment rights group, in April 2019. The photoshopped image Watts used showed Freitas promoting the shirt on August 30, 2016. Jill McDaniel, who founded Mom-At-Arms in December 2018, confirmed the shirt did not exist at the time of Freitas's supposed promotion.
According to founder Jill McDaniel, the group looked to "troll" Watts by sharing photos of the shirts paired with messages of support toward Moms Demand Action. The tactic proved successful—both Watts and Democratic Pittsburgh mayor Bill Peduto liked and retweeted posts featuring the shirt in August and November 2019, respectively.
So, Watts was caught using something WE did to mock Moms Demand Action because of the organization’s name in order to smear delegate Freitas. She is caught red handed. What does she do? Does she admit her mistake, apologize, take the “high road”? No. she doubles down and says she’s the victim (people are hitting her with links to the articles on social media):
Some big people shared what happened and also the article about it:
What does she do then?
Yeah, they’re liars LOFL!!!! Even further, this is an exchange under Nick Freitas’s post on Facebook. Rep. Spanberger’s people doing damage control:
So not only are they not condemning it, it’s now all Putin‘s doing (I can confirm all Mom-at-Arms writers/researchers are Americans in the USA, as if that even needed to be said).
This is how gun grabbers and their allies operate. They have zero integrity and always play the victim even when they are caught lying. If that fails, blame the Russians....
And while a third party vendor will likely never accept the design again, doesn’t stop you from making your own at home. Enjoy.
