North Carolina Senator Richard Burr is under fire after audio surfaced of him joking about a picture of Hillary Clinton on the cover of a gun magazine and saying he was “shocked” it didn’t have a bullseye on it.
Sen. Richard Burr: “Nothing made me feel any better than I walked into a gunshop, I think, yesterday in Oxford, and there was a copy of Rifleman on the counter. It’s got a picture of Hillary Clinton on the front of it. I was a little bit shocked at that—didn’t have a bullseye on it.”
Senator Burr supports Donald Trump. Trump has also been accused of inciting violence, after he suggested “the Second Amendment people” could assassinate Hillary Clinton while speaking at a campaign rally in August in North Carolina.
