Ex-GOP Congressmember: “If Trump Loses, I’m Grabbing My Musket”

HeadlineOct 27, 2016

In other campaign news, a former Republican congressmember has threatened to grab his musket if Trump loses in the election. Former Illinois Congressmember Joe Walsh tweeted, “On November 8th, I’m voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I’m grabbing my musket. You in?” The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence condemned Walsh’s tweet. The group’s president, Dan Gross, said, “Joe Walsh’s continued vile and violent rhetoric has no place in our political discussion.”
