CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: After Orlando, Dem Katie McGinty hammers Pat Toomey over anti-terror gun bill.
McGinty called on Toomey to now support the measure in the aftermath of the Orlando massacre, hours after Senate Democrats promised to bring the plan back up for debate.
“Pat Toomey has worked to allow suspected terrorists to buy guns in this country and that is just an outrageous position,” McGinty, challenging Toomey in one of the country’s most critical Senate races, said in a telephone interview. “Of all the kind of tough issues, this one should not be a tough call.”
Before electing her to the Senate, Pennsylvania voters might want to ask Katie McGinty what other constitutionally protected rights she would suspend under mere suspicion.
