The Democrats like to create the illusion that Monica Bristow is some big conservative. Remember when she ran against Babcock when local Democrats tried to appeal to conservatives that she was Annie Oakley like she was so pro gun? They claimed Babcock was anti second amendment to those same voters also, which was big news to the NRA. This kind of thing though where shes acting all indignant about something she knows wont pass is pretty common place. If it had a chance in hell of passing, she would have been squelched on this.
