Busted: South Dakota GoPer hopes for a terrorists attack to win election Due to "Trump Effect"

South Dakota State Sen. Neal Tapio (R), who is running for U.S. Congress, was caught on tape fantasizing about a terrorist attack because he said it would help him win the election.

The Huffington Post on Monday published audio of Tapio talking about how terrorism could boost his political fortunes.

“I can start in a little town like Aberdeen outside of the media glare,” he explained. “I can move it to Watertown, practice a little more, and then by the time I get to Sioux Falls, I will have said this thousands of times. And then [opponent Dusty Johnson] is just going to be so far behind, that they won’t even realize we are running for the same race.”

He added: “And then all that has to happen is that there will be one more terrorist attack between now and then and I will be the, just by the Trump effect, I will be the candidate. That’s the way I look at it.”

So South Dakota, do you think that your sons, daughters, fathers, uncles, aunts, are expendable just so that this "guy" can put your family members in harm ways, for the bone spur leader.

So just think who is worse Dusty Johnson another republican that will follow the republican agenda in Congress, gutting and cutting medicare and social security and putting people lives on the line, or this other wing nut, that wants to place human beings life on the line in battles ........................

Same playbook. dt is inflaming the middle east, Koreans, etc. PRAYING for an attack on our nation. It will happen. (We already had the white supremacist terror but....dt.), but a big ones coming. I wouldn't be surprised dt sets one up w XE and gets the ball rolling. He hates most of us, and, I don't think HE'D think twice.

Is that what he's talking about?

He seems rather confused. Let's just hope the good people of SD can see through his confusion to the slime beneath.
