Republican rocker Ted Nugent has caused a stir once again. This time, the outspoken guitarist shared his thoughts on both Hillary Clinton and gun laws with one controversial social media post.
Nugent shared a digitally-altered video in which Bernie Sanders appears to be taking out a gun and shooting Clinton, his competitor for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“I got your gun control right here bitch,” Nugent said in his May 10 post on Facebook.
The 29-second clip - which was originally published on YouTube by Cool Junk Productions - features real footage from a recent Democratic Presidential Debate where Clinton was asked if she was blaming “Vermont and implicitly Sen. Sanders for New York’s gun violence.” As Sanders laughs at the question, newly created graphics have the Vermont senator grabbing a gun from inside his jacket and blasting the former Secretary of State off the stage.
In April 2012, Nugent was the subject of a Secret Service investigation after making negative comments about the president at a National Rifle Association (NRA) meeting. “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,” he said. The case was closed and the right-wing activist was dismissed without any repercussions.
For the record, Nugent is supporting Republican candidate Donald Trump in his bid to become the next POTUS. “He represents a glowing middle finger to the embarrassing status-quo politics, and everyone I know truly loves a good, glowing middle finger aimed directly at the most deserving,” the “Cat Scratch Fever” singer said about the businessman.
Nugent, who is an NRA board member, is slated to give a speech May 22 during the organization’s annual meeting in Louisville, Ky., titled “2016 Election Do or Die for America and Freedom.” The description for the event reads: “Never before has the orchestrated threat against America, freedom and our sacred 2nd Amendment rights been more dangerous than in 2016. The Obama/Clinton liberal Democrat gang is maniacal in their attack on all things individual rights, truth, logic, commonsense and The American Way. Are there enough of us willing to do battle with these evil forces? We can and we must win this one.”
