You know, the one that became famous for blessing AR 15’s two weeks after the Florida school shooting. But it gets better. Sean Moon gave the invocation at Tommy Gun Warehouse and Scott Wagner in return said that he and Moon agrees on 98 percent of the issues. As might be expected, Scott Wagner then got confronted in a townhall about why he’s hanging out with cult leaders.
