That sure sounds like a loaded question, doesn’t it?
But we’re talking about Republican America, and Republican Florida, so guess what, this is a real-life question that was put to a judge.
The judge said no, so the police can keep Brad Parscale’s 11 firearms in their custody for another two weeks. (Read story here.) After that, who knows?
Parscale’s wife called the cops on Sunday, September 27, 2020, when he chambered a live round into a pistol following a “verbal altercation.” She told them he was “depressed and suicidal.” He also was very, very drunk. She had bruises from a wife-beating several days earlier she didn’t report. She fled the house, heard a shot, and police responded with a SWAT team. After a standoff, Parscale came outside undressed and barefoot, didn’t comply with police commands, and was tackled and hauled off to involuntary commitment. (More details here.)
Parscale was Trump’s campaign manager until July, and still held a high-level position in the Trump campaign until Wednesday, September 30, three days after Sunday’s incident. He wasn’t remove from that position by campaign officials; he stepped away.
I can think of at least three things that are crazy by any objective standard:
- Brad Parscale
- Florida’s gun laws
- The people running Trump’s campaign
Feel free to add more in the comments as you think of them.
