Democratic Congressional Candidate Caught on Tape Hiding Support for Gun Ban

[Common]

Democratic candidate Tedra Cobb, who is currently running to represent New York’s 21st Congressional District, was recently caught on tape admitting that she supports banning certain types of guns outright, but is following the advice of pro-gun control groups in hiding her beliefs from her potential constituents.

Cobb’s comments were recorded (https://youtu.be/GALyezAPwZk?t=1m42s) at a meeting with teenage activists who are working to help her campaign [emphasis mine]:



TEDRA COBB: When I was, um, at this thing today, um, the first table I was at, a woman said: “How do you feel about assault rifles?” AndI said they should be banned.
And, and I said -- you know, people were getting up to go get their lunch because it was a buffet -- and I just said to her: “I want you to know Cindy, I cannot say that.”
And she said: “Well, I want you to.” And I said: “I won't win."
TEEN VOLUNTEER: Exactly, it’s like, there’s things you want to say [inaudible].
COBB: I said Moms Demand -- yeah! Moms [Demand Action] says, and Tricia Pleau said: “Do not say that you want an assault rifle ban because you will not win."

All liberals want to ban all guns.

All liberals want to ban all guns.

Sure. No weapons no way to defend against their takeover of the government and the tyranny to follow.

I suspect many on the left have adopted that strategy.

I think Politicians have always done this peter, hid how they would really vote once elected during their campaigns.
McCain is famous for it as well as many others.
