A former Kansas GOP leader is calling for the resignation of two current party leaders after behavior at a recent fundraiser event raised eyebrows online. Via KAKE.com:

In a social media post on Saturday, former head of the Kansas Republican Party Mike Kuckelman called out the Kansas GOP and Johnson County Republican Party for beating an effigy of President Joe Biden with a baseball bat in exchange for donations.

A user on Rumble posted a video of the event, entitled "Highlights from the Grand Ol' Party ft. Ted Nugent! - Overland Park, KS, 3-8-2024" which shows people in attendance kicking the Biden effigy and others posing with a cardboard cutout of former President Donald Trump.

"This conduct is shameful, and it is WRONG," Kuckelman wrote. "(Mike) Brown and (Maria) Holiday must resign. Republicans, especially elected Republicans, must demand the resignations of Brown and Holiday. Silence is complicity in this case."

He said Johnson County Sheriff Cal Hayden was at the event, seated in the front row roped off for VIP members.

Ted Nugent was the star attraction, which somehow does not surprise me.

Now pretend this was Kathy Griffin...
