Doubling Down
In case you were wondering if Texas Democrats are making too big a deal out of Ted Nugent, the man who admits to several sexual exploits with underage girls, has been sued for child support, wants Hillary Clinton to “suck” on his gun, has proudly made racist statements, and promotes violence against women, campaigning with Texas politicians … there’s this.
Despite calling the president a “sub-human mongrel” last month, rocker Ted Nugent hasn’t lost support among Republican allies in Texas.
Sid Miller, a candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, stands behind Nugent, who serves as the campaign’s treasurer and co-chairman.
“We are not going to do anything to distance ourselves from Ted Nugent,” said Todd Smith, a Miller spokesman and strategist. “If we had concerns about some of the things that Mr. Nugent has said or done, we wouldn’t have reached out to him and asked him to become involved in our campaign on such a high level.”
Republicans in Texas think they are bulletproof. They win and they’ll legalize everything Ted Nugent has done and memorialize everything he’s said.
They double down and so do I.
Ill be home next week meaner than ever.
