If you haven’t been following the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race this election cycle, you may have missed former State Senator Scott Wagner. Wagner is the best the Grand Old Party has to offer. You might remember him as the Republican who kicked off his campaign for governor by saying that teachers were overpaid. Maybe you remember him as the guy that said our earth’s climate is changing because we are moving closer to the sun and also, possibly, because of increases in the total amount of human body heat due to increases in population. Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. Well, Wagner put a video up on his Facebook page telling Pennsylvania all of the great things he’s going to do for its citizens, which included this sign-off.
Well, Governor Wolf, let me tell you. Between now and November 6th, you better put a catcher’s mask on your face because I’m going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes.
Wagner is no stranger to violence and accusations of violence. Last year he was accused of forcefully grabbing a man’s camera and trying to confiscate it during a meeting. Over a decade ago, his own daughter applied for a protection-from-abuse order against him. So while Republican leaders like Sen. Rand Paul cry bratty tears about the incivility of the Left and its inciting rhetoric, the right wing of our country continues to threaten and condone actual violence.
