Talk about a winning message.
Scott Wagner said this. Someone filmed it. Someone posted it.

Did no one think this might be a bad idea?
He combed his hair, got himself into that cool sweater, dragged a chair out to the backyard, set all these papers on it, set up the camera, uploaded it to his computer and in all this time it never crossed his mind that this may be a bad idea! https://t.co/19YnQNXwKO

What the hell is even happening right now?
This is psychotic. But also: how freaking *Republican* is this threat? Golf spikes? https://t.co/1ifaF5889L

Ha! But seriously. This is terrible.
This is disturbing. Any mention of violence should be condemned by all sides! Stop this! Enough. https://t.co/19YnQNXwKO

Shame on him.
And shame on others using violent rhetoric too.
This should be unacceptable on all sides. https://t.co/E3uPO3p1Cn

I would not vote for anyone that talks like this, FWIW.
