MSNBC’s newest show host Alex Wagner is eager to make her mark on the world of punditry. Twice this week Wagner has made mention of how much she detests the Second Amendment. The other evening while on a political panel with Martin Bashir and Jedediah Bila, Wagner challenged Bila’s recollection of firearm statistics, and when faced with a losing battle, looked to Bashir for support. While doing so, Wagner essentially called Bila stupid for disagreeing with her:
Sadly, Wagner lacks the realization that the First Amendment is entirely vulnerable without the Second; without the Second, there is nothing to protect her views on how “unintelligent” Americans are for exercising their rights.
