Brad Goehring, a Republican candidate for Congress in California’s 11th district, stirred up some controversy earlier today with a post on his Facebook page that advocated for hunting liberals, a local political blog reports.
“If I could issue hunting permits, I would officially declare today opening day for liberals. The season would extend through November 2 and have no limits on how many taken as we desperately need to ‘thin’ the herd,” wrote Goehring.
He clarified that statement in a later post, writing, “I intended to include the wording ‘we would use votes and not bullets’ (but) hit the share button by accident before I finished and decided to leave it, thinking it would not be taken in a literal sense. I’m sorry if I confused anyone.”
Goehring’s spokesman wasn’t immediately available for comment.
