“I think it’s time to listen more…and work together” Schlapp said, to which Camerota retorted “why is Wayne LaPierre stoking that division?”

“I think he’s defending the Second Amendment,” Schlapp said.

Camerota continued to hold Schlapp’s feet to the fire over LaPierre’s comment that people calling for gun control “hate freedom,” as the CPAC organizer defended the right to bear arms.

The back and forth even included a moment in which Schlapp accused Camerota of “blaming Indianians for the crime in Chicago.”
