The cruelty is the point. The more cruel they can be, the more powerful they feel. It’s sick.

And there it is, why did you waste your own time pretending you did not love what they did?

It’s THE WASHINGTON POST, and yes, they did mention the WDL. More than once.
And the hate-GOP movement fuels its outrage with strawmen.

The strawman is the idea that there’s a hate-GOP movement.
Your asking why Washington Post doesn’t have a quote made to journalist form another paper in their article?
Is this a first step to dressing in drag?
But yeah, they are disgusting.
No, strawmen need to be sent to Oz for a brain. Follow the yellow brick road. Burning them would be against local laws most likely.
It’s a good thing this women’s defense league didn’t tell them to jump off a Cliff.

Crazy idea. Hear me out. Maybe some in the GOP shouldn’t mock victims of gun violence.

Now for the rest of the story from your link.
“The PEARLS are in support of the Women’s Defense League. Women who ACTUALLY PROMOTE GUN SAFETY and WOMEN’S RIGHTS,” tweeted Kimberly Morin, president of the group.
Morin told a local newspaper that they’ve been wearing pearls for this reason since 2016. She accused Watts, who lives in Colorado, of being an out-of-state “paid hack” who is lobbying for gun control legislation from afar and whose group doesn’t understand local politics. In a day-long Twitter offensive, Morin also called the Moms Demand Action volunteers “harpies,” a reference to a creature from Greek mythology that had the body of a bird and the head of a human woman.
She’s right about Watts, Bloomberg pays her.
Not very fair and balanced.
Maybe they didn’t.
You do whatever you need to do to feel better about them. I am going to stick with reality.

Nasty thing to do. Understand why they are attempting to explain it as something else, but they really should apologize and be done with it. But in this day and age it seems apologies mean weakness or some such nonsense.

You got your pearls on?
Because it’s a transparent chicken-spit attempt to portray gun control advocates as pearl clutchers, but without the balls to say so directly.
Did I really have to explain that?

Politics has always been about appealing to the lowest common denominator, but Lord Almighty do we celebrate it these days.

Reality has nothing to do with this. The people that wore them told you why they did it. Very clearly. You are the one assigning a moral judgment to it.
It’s no different than the Black Lives Matter arguments. You just happen to have bias against the side. You need to believe it.
