Apparently, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre’s appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” did not sit well with professional poker player Erik Seidel.

Many of his followers were not impressed with the comment.

@erik_seidel your a fucking idiot..stick with poker.

@erik_seidel Always been a big fan of yours yet you speak so harshly aboutone dedicated to preserving our constitutional rights. Sad ..

Unfollow:RT @erik_seidel Drop a drone on Wayne Lapierre, please. He’s a much greater threat to American lives then any terrorist

@erik_seidel such a non violent progressive viewpoint #hypocrite #statist

@erik_seidel Hm. How’s that exactly?

Seidel then attempted to apologize for walk back the tweet by criticizing those who didn’t catch his figurative language.

Thought it was obvious I was being figurative, but apparently not judging from some of the response

— Erik Seidel (@Erik_Seidel) March 24, 2013

@erik_seidel figurative or not, it was completely and utterly irresponsible. You should apologize,not belittle others for not “getting it”.

@erik_seidel It was either a joke or serious. Either way it doesn’t make you look good.

The Left’s hypocrisy never fails to make an appearance.

Update:

Evidently Seidel doesn’t know that Twitchy is forever.

@twitchyteam hey, yo. You need to update your @erik_seidel story. The coward deleted his tweet. #tcot #tgdn #seidelisacoward #nra #poker
