A Democrat candidate in Michigan's 7th congressional district, Samuel Smeltzer, who goes by the name Eloyn Badger, went an unhinged rant on social media, attacking Charlie Kirk. Smeltzer called Charlie Kirk "a massive loser" and shared a photo of his assassination while also blaming Republicans raised in Christian homes in other posts.
This is the same Smeltzer who claims he will "physically fight people" who disagree with his opinion while calling President Trump and all of his supporters "trash."
This is today's Democrat Party: Only 38% of Democrats believe it is always unacceptable to feel joy at the death of someone they oppose.
Every Democrat candidate in Michigan's 7th congressional must immediately condemn these dangerous and disgusting comments. Their silence only condones and emboldens further unhinged rhetoric that leads to political violence.
"Radical far-left lunatics like Samuel Smeltzer expose the liberal brain rot that is now the current state of the Democrat Party. Smeltzer's dangerous rhetoric is a green light for further political violence, and is both disgusting and unacceptable." - NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
