Drunken Hunter Jr. uses same playbook again

I hope this asshole loses.
It's going to be tough to oust him in the very red 50th District but he almost lost last time.


‘ACT OF DESPERATION’: REPUBLICAN DUNCAN HUNTER RENEWS RACIST ATTACKS ON OPPONENT, DEMOCRATS SAY

Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, the California lawmaker indicted last year on 60 counts by a federal grand jury for allegedly misusing $250,000 in campaign funds, is again issuing campaign attacks that are anti-Muslim and racist, Democrats allege.

In a campaign email sent this week to his supporters, Hunter alleged his Democratic opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, would be a "grave threat to our national security if ever elected!"

He also suggested the San Diego native has ties to his Palestinian grandfather, Muhammad Youssef al-Najjar, one of the men responsible for the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack that left 11 Israeli athletes and coaches dead, along with one police officer. Campa-Najjar’s grandfather died 16 years before he was born, and the congressional candidate has condemned the terrorist attack.
