Liberal Santa Makes Boy Cry By Saying “No” To Nerf Gun

OMG!  Now, 2020 has gone too far.  It's bad enough that when I see a scene like this, I see children unable to touch Santa (and I get it, it's the right thing to do-it still breaks my heart, tho).  However, I cannot believe I'm actually hearing a Santa tell a child "No!" because, apparently,  of his personal political leanings.

This poor little boy has ONE simple request: a Nerf gun.

A NERF GUN!

Apparently, Santa is not a gun guy...OF ANY KIND.  Even when the kid's mom tries to clarify that it's a NERF gun, Santa doubles down, “Nope. No guns. Not even a Nerf gun. Nope. If your dad wants to get it for you that’s fine but I can’t bring it to you so what else would you like?”

So, a visit to Santa, in a year where a visit to Santa sucks anyway, ends in tears?!

WTH?!
