Rick Santorum was at a gun range in Lousiana Friday in advance of Saturday’s primaries, which he is expected to win. Politico’s Juana Summers was with Santorum reported on an odd attempt at a joke.

She tweeted:

Santorum is shooting a 1911 Colt. Range master says “Well, it’s not your first rodeo.”. Someone here says “pretend its Obama.”

 

As Santorum had headphones on and was standing far from supporters, he likely didn’t hear woman say “pretend its Obama” as he shot.

NBC’s Andrew Rafferty, also reported it was unlikely Santorum heard the line. He tweeted:

Woman watching Santorum at shooting range in LA yells “Pretend it’s Obama” (there is 0 chance Santorum heard it)

Here’s a photo of Santorum at the gun range snapped by Summers:
