Democrat Senate Candidate Shoots Reporter During Photo-Op
Lucas Kunce is desperate, currently getting crushed by incumbent Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) in his race.
Kunce, who is trailing 54-46 in his race, was hoping to lure in more moderates by shooting an AR-15 during his campaign event, which was also attended by former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who is now a Democrat in all but name.
Kunce, who served in the military, wound up wounding a reporter while firing his AR-15.
Oops
Kunce has been playing up his military service, even claiming to have received a special certification from an elite Border Patrol unit.
Kunce ran this ad, making it sound as though he had done extensive training with Border Patrol…
Former members of the Border Patrol were livid over the claim, immediately pushing back that the certification he received would have been along the lines of a short training class, which was probably conducted by Border Patrol’s elite BORTAC team, but it was NOT the training the BORTAC team itself receives.
One former agent stated, “There’s no way in a short deployment or a short detail to the border or even a joint training session with BORTAC would I ever look at that and then say that person is now a border security expert. That is just silly.”
Kunce’s campaign responded, "In the course of that training, Lucas successfully completed the BORTAC/SRT Border Transition Team Training course in Yuma, Arizona.
“In the document attached is the certificate Lucas Kunce received for completing that training from the United States Border Patrol, Yuma Sector.”
So, it was exactly what we described, like something you would receive for a training seminar at work, nothing more.
Kunce could hardly afford a misstep after that, but he had a doozie.
Pictures were flying all over the internet of a reporter with a bloody and bandaged arm after Kunce somehow hit him.
The report noted, “Kunce was shooting an AR-15 at the time, and was the only person shooting when the injury occurred.”
So, Kunce is starting his career off as a liar and not the most proficient with weapons…. He sounds like a typical Democrat.
