“Today, my fellow Americans, we have the chance to exercise our hard-earned right to vote for some people I can’t actually believe are running for office. Here’s a mere sampling of some of the most batshit crazy things said and done by candidates who want your vote.
1. Bob Quast: #GotBalls? Because He’ll Blow them Off! This Iowa Independent Senate candidate won’t let any man’s testicles get in the way of his Second Amendment rights. As Quast explained in his campaign ad, “If you are the sexual predator and sociopath who murdered my sister Lynette and you come to my front door to do harm to my girls, I’m going to use my Glock. To blow your balls off.” Quast is not afraid of hashtags, either.
2. Joni Ernst. Got Pig Balls? Because she’ll cut them off and ‘Make ‘em squeal.” What is it about Iowa and testes destruction? Running against Quast for the Senate in Iowa, this Republican is proud of her experience cutting castrating pigs. For realz. As she brags in her own sociopathic ad, “I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm so when I get to Washington, I’ll know how to cut pork…. Washington is full of big spenders. Let’s make ‘em squeal.”
3. Don Young: death threats and butf***ing. It’s hard to be surprised by anything this Alaskan Republican Congressman running for reelection does. Most recently, his Democratic opponent Forrest Dunbar says, Young threatened, “Don’t you ever touch me. Don’t ever touch me. The last guy who touched me ended up on the ground dead.” Note that Young’s spokesman didn’t deny the claim.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
