Deplorable. He thinks this is the NC of the Jesse Helms era.

Welp, they better figure out how to put this in ads if theirs audio this should be a campaign ender

[Figueira]

I hope this can pull Ross over the line.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I hope this can pull Ross over the line.

^^^^

I really hope she finds a way to capitalize on it.

[Xing]

Hopefully this gets some attention, but given how commonplace these kinds of remarks have been this year, it might not.

[Green Line]

He would never say that.

[Cashew]

But...but ...but... law and order!!!

[swf541]

He would never say that.

There is audio of it in the article

Nope. Never.

[Bismarck]

He was clearly joking and it was certainly not as bad as Trumps comments but still he should know better.

[Incipimus iterum]

You should never joke about assassination.

[Kingpoleon]

Nothing makes me feel better than seeing a magazine with baby Richard Burr next to an abortion clinic on its cover.

[Heisenberg]

Deplorable. He thinks this is the NC of the Jesse Helms era.

I miss the old North Carolina and Virginia so much.

Disclaimer: I do not actually like Jesse Helms and I strongly despise racism, but I'll take far right over far left any day.

[Mr. Smith]

I hope this can pull Ross over the line.

[henster]

Ross is such a terrible fit for NC and its a shame because Burr is so beatable, she will need strong coattails to pull this off. I am bearish on this race mainly because of the sex offender registry attacks.

[DINGO Joe]

North Carolina is an interesting state because there was never any historic reason to think it could become a brain state, but it has.  It just needs to cast off the final shackles of it's mud eating past and hopefully will.

Yes I just read a book which mentioned that North Carolina historically was thought of as the most backwards ignorant state. However, After this election college educated whites will return to voting mostly republican, and they probably are at least plurality republican in North Carolina in this election.

[Blackacre]

What a horrible person. The bullseye stuff but also the supreme court stuff. Dude has no respect for the constitution, and I'll be a very happy man if he loses

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Why are Republicans so obsessed with rape and shooting people?

[freepcrusher]

Deplorable. He thinks this is the NC of the Jesse Helms era.

you mean when the dems always held the legislature?

[Sorenroy]

This. I think the thing that might gain a little more traction is him saying that if Clinton wins, he will not vote on any of her Supreme Court Appointments.

"You are the worst, Burr."

[Indy Texas]

Shooting himself in the foot at the eleventh hour, just like Liddy Dole in 2008.

[nclib]

Disgusting. This shouldn't even be joked about. Ever wonder why the right is far more likely to resort to this, than the left is.

It would be great if this pushes Ross over the top. Yes, Ross is left-wing for North Carolina, but Trump and Burr (and McCrory) have gone out of their way to make this seat competitive.
