An Illinois state senator has apologized for photographs taken during his recent fundraiser that showed his supporters acting out a mock assassination against President Donald Trump.
Presidential assassinations — they’re all fun and games, aren’t they. So long as they’re targeting Republicans, that is.
Could you imagine the outcry had a Republican fundraiser included mock attacks on Barack Obama? When a rodeo clown with a long record of poking fun of presidents dared in 2013 turn mocking eyes at Obama, the full weight of the Missouri State Fair officials came down on him and banned him from ever performing at the venue again. The cowboy lost his job, all because he did to Obama what he did to ex-Presidents Reagan, Nixon and Bush the W — that is, donned a mask of the White House chief and had a little rodeo fun.
Guess it’s OK to mock about Republicans but not Democrats.
It’s OK to joke about killing Republicans, but not Democrats.
