Hustler, the pornographic magazine, sent a number of Republican lawmakers a Christmas card that depicted the assassination of President Trump.
“The card showed the smiling shooter holding a smoking handgun up in the air as onlookers smiled and cheered over Trump’s bleeding corpse,” Politico reports. “The back of the card shows the shooter with a speech bubble next to him that reads: ‘I just shot Donald Trump on Fifth Avenue and no one arrested me.'”
A magazine spokesperson confirmed to Politico that it was their official 2019 Christmas card.
Rep. Mke Johnson (R-LA) was livid after a young staffer opened the card and discovered the heinous image.
“Just imagine if a conservative had distributed such a disgusting and hateful piece about a Democrat,” he wrote on Twitter. “I hope this will be investigated by the @secretservice.”
Not only should the Secret Service investigate, but so should the Department of Justice. It’s time to take every threat from Hollywood and the Mainstream media seriously. These are dangerous, demented thugs.
Here’s all you need to know about the radical Left. A young staffer of mine opened this in a stack of holiday mail today. Just imagine if a conservative had distributed such a disgusting and hateful piece about a Democrat. I hope this will be investigated by the @secretservice pic.twitter.com/0q4FRQGdkY
