Kentucky Republican suggests using Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth as 'target practice'

[RandySF]

A Republican candidate for Kentucky secretary of state tweeted Tuesday that he would like to use Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth as target practice.

Carl Nett, a former member of the U.S. Secret Service who also worked under contract with the CIA, was responding to a tweet from Yarmuth, who was bragging about his F grade from the National Rifle Association.

Yarmuth said he is asking colleagues to join him in wearing a button with the "F" rating on it every day until "the GOP finally stands up to the gun lobby and helps us pass common-sense gun safety legislation. Find me to get a pin."

Nett responded: "Move it over just a bit. I was trained center mass."

Moron. I don't care about his military background. He's a punk and a faux tough guy.
