The Joint Action Committee (JAC) strongly condemns Ted Nugent's deplorable video showing a fake shooting of Hillary Clinton. THere is absolutely no place in any political debate for the promotion of violence. America faces a growing epidemic of gun violence which plagues every community in this country regardless of economics. Nugent's vitriolic rhetoric, laced with racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and anti-semitism, promotes hatred and violence. The NRA, by failing to condemn Nugent, is actually helping to spread his bogotry and vile attacks. JAC calls upon the NRA to condemn Ted Nugent's actions immediately and urge common sense NRA members to disassociate themselves with the organization if this is the type of conduct the NRA tolerates.
