@The Ghost@mystery-ak A woman posted that on Facebook and the senator condemned it. That is all he can do.
The picture makes no sense. Pointing a gun at a small caricature of Trump does not compute - it is stupid. However, any picture of a gun connected to any politician is enough to set off a crazy person and we have many of them in the over 3 million people in this country.
We have seen two crazies in one week killing people using a gun. That is going to happen again so we don't need guns and politicians in cartoons to encourage them to act.
A politician cannot control the actions of thousands/millions of supporters. Any supporter can pay for ads and the politician can't do anything about that except to say the ad did not come from him/her.
Story:
One year in Texas, a group supporting a certain candidate, unknown to the candidate, sent out (to seniors) applications for a mail-in ballot, along with asking the voter to vote for this candidate. I got one and knew the application was flawed, it was illegal, did not include required information. The application would be dumped when a county got them. I called the Secretary of State's office, Elections Division, and told them about these faulty applications. They contacted every Texas county election administer to warn them if these applications came in, immediately send them back to the voter with a legal application. The candidate was also told about these illegal applications, and he had no idea this happened.
The moral of that story is, candidates cannot control what other entities do regarding his/her campaign for office.
