Last weekend New Hampshire gun nuts auctioned a custom “Cherry Frost” assault rifle in an attempt to mock, intimidate, or theaten Sherry Frost, the outspoken Democratic NH State Representative for District 16, Strafford County.
Representative Frost wrote this on her Facebook page earlier today:
This was a raffle held at the Hold the Line rally at the State House last weekend. It's clearly a play on my name, though the plausible deniability ("What?! It's got cherries on it, see? And white is the color of frost! It has nothing at all to do with her!") is laughable.
This is a threat. Who's to say that the person who wins this gun won't decide to use it to live up to its namesake? Is this how we're going to conduct public discourse now?
I am beyond outraged. National press, can you please investigate and expose these awful people?
