HYPOTHESIS: LEFTIES FAVOR GUN CONTROL BECAUSE THEY LACK SELF-CONTROL. White House staffer indicted on assault charges.

A White House staffer has been indicted on assault charges stemming from a dispute in which she allegedly fired a gun at her U.S. Capitol Police boyfriend.

Police say Barvetta Singletary texted her boyfriend to meet at her home in suburban Maryland on Aug. 7, where she confronted him about another woman.

Singletary then allegedly grabbed her boyfriend’s gun and phone out of his bag. Demanding the phone’s password, she pointed the gun at her boyfriend.

“Don’t think I won’t use it,” she allegedly said, firing it at a sofa 10 feet away.

Plus: “Singletary has served as a special assistant to the president since 2014.” Some quality people we’ve got working in this White House.
