Republican 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley was called out as a “poser” after posting a picture of herself wielding a gun online.
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) — a Marine veteran who saw combat in Iraq — listed the issues he had with this image that the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and GOP governor of South Carolina tweeted Saturday:
Making sure our military has the equipment they need to keep us safe is a priority. @SigSauerInc is keeping them on the cutting edge. Thank you for letting us check out the latest. #LiveFreeOrDiepic.twitter.com/DlmBFq9LED

Gallego, who is mounting a challenge to incumbent independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in 2024, first asked why Haley had her finger on the trigger.
He also pointed out other problems:
Poser alert:
Why is your finger on the trigger !
1. Bolt is clear back and there is no
Magazine.
2. The linked ammo on the stand you are “ shooting” from doesn’t feed into the magazine fed weapon you have.
3. Your stockwell is gonna hurt you when that weapon kickback https://t.co/HBo4tImu7S— Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) April 29, 2023
