Think Progress: Republican Jesse Kelly, a construction manager and Tea Party favorite, won the Republican nomination primary last night to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). Kelly will face former Giffords district manager Ron Barber in the June 12th special election. Kelly, in his unsuccessful 2010 bid for the same seat, infamously hosted an M16 automatic weapons shooting campaign event to help supporters “get on target” to “help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office.”
Which is pretty much exactly what happened. The people who encourage crazies to commit acts of violence should be held responsible when they do.
Amen to that
ReplyDeleteDidn't Morris Dees make that argument and bankrupt the Aryan Nation? Maybe somebody should sue these guys in civil court.
ReplyDeleteAnon, that's an excellent point. Gaby Giffords should sue this guy and take everything he owns.
