Sarah Steelman, the Republican Senate candidate running against Missouris Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill this election, is facing heavy criticism for her son applauding a tea party activist urging a crowd to kill the senator, according to reporting Tuesday by Think Progress. Now, the video (embeded below) has surfaced.
At a campaign event last week hosted by the Tea Party Express, tea party activist Scott Boston uttered the harsh language as Steelman and her son, Deputy Campaign Manager Sam Steelman, stood nearby.
We have to get Claire McCaskill out, Boston said. We have to kill the Claire bear, ladies and gentlemen. Can someone offer up some sort of care bear or something? Really an evil monster.
Sam Steelman applauded Bostons comments while his mother smiled and talked to a few supporters. The Republican candidate issued a tepid condemnation of the right-wing activists remarks.
