Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A disgraced former governor with a documented history of alleged physical and mental abuse films a campaign ad where he carries a shotgun, flanked by similarly armed shock troops in fatigues, as he bursts into someone’s home and calls for his supporters to pick up their “permit” to “hunt” a whole class of political enemies. Funny, right?
Evidently, if you’re aspiring Republican senator Eric Greitens it is. And if you’re not so keen on an overt call for political violence? Well, Greitens would like you to know that the joke’s actually on you. Ha ha ha, sucker!
