Republican Kansas governor hopeful Kris Kobach said he wont back down in the face of a snowflake meltdown and outrage culture after being criticized for riding in a jeep mounted with a replica of a large gun at a parade on Saturday.
Koback, the states secretary of state, raised eyebrows on social media over the weekend after he attended the Old Shawnee Days parade, named after the Kansas City-suburb.
Had a blast riding in the Old Shawnee Days Parade in this souped up jeep with a replica gun, he tweeted. Those who want to restrict the right to keep and bear arms are deeply misguided. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
But many criticized the politician for riding a vehicle equipped with a large replica gun at the event attended by young children.
The city of Shawnee has since issued an apology for having Kobach to attend the event and causing upset over the display of a large replica gun.
