Democrat Lucas Kunce is trying to defeat incumbent Sen. Josh Hawley in Missouri, and a recent photo op shooting at the range with Adam Kinzinger backfired on a reporter covering it. The journo needed a bit of first aid after a piece of shrapnel from a bullet ricocheted off a lead target that looked to be way too close.

Now we know why the Harris campaign didn't want Tim Walz carry a loaded shotgun for his photo op the other day!
When it comes to "great moments in campaign optics," Dana Loesch put this right up there with another notorious photo op gone bad:
Live look at @LucasKunceMO who bragged about a campaign range day where they used scopes for mere yards, no eye protection, shot over tableside Tannerite, reporters down range for photos, zero basic range safety, and a reporter got hit. pic.twitter.com/tKRl5uDVqF

Other than that they totally nailed it!
It's funny how the simplest public missteps can completely derail a campaign, or make one.
