Democrats Embrace Their True Selves: Run A CLOWN For Congress

It seems that at LEAST once a day, I say to myself “Dear LORD, Democrats are a JOKE.”

Well… they’ve fully embraced that.

May I present the most honest thing I’ve seen the Democrats do in a good long time:

Yup. Looks about right.

According to The Hill:

A former professional clown is running for Congress in South Carolina.

Steve Lough — a former clown for the Ringling Bros. circus — is running as a Democrat in South Carolina’s 5th District.

“They joke that the president and Congress are all clowns,” Lough said when announcing his bid, according to The State.

“Well, in my professional opinion, they are the worst clowns I’ve ever seen.”

Lough’s website is clownforcongress.com.

I thought clowns were supposed to be funny?

Joke’s on you, Steve.

Lough said he wants to advocate for gun control and universal access to health care.

He cited the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, saying that he was working in a North Carolina school to help combat bullying at the time.

“For the next six months, I couldn’t sleep, felt depressed, and every time I worked with a 6-year-old volunteer in the show, I was reminded of the horror of that day in Newtown,” Lough said, according to The State.

“When none of our gun laws changed, I got mad.”

Lough has in the past volunteered on the 2008 and 2012 campaigns of former President Obama. He said he also volunteered on the 2016 presidential campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

I just can’t… this is too easy.

Clownforcongress.com … seriously.

That URL will be worth a lot of money once he loses, though… it perfectly describes the vast majority of Democrats. It’ll be in high demand in the upcoming election cycle.

PS I finally get why people are afraid of clowns. This dude is scary AF.
