Ted Nugent’s repeated calls for Obama’s death didn’t stop Trump from hosting him at the White House
Nugent’s 2012 comments about Obama — who he has called a “piece of ****” and a “subhuman mongrel” — are far from the only threat he’s made against prominent Democrats. As the Daily Beast chronicled, Nugent discussed shooting Harry Reid during the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in 2015. In January 2016, he called for both Obama and Clinton to “be tried for treason & hung.” Nugent once called Clinton a “worthless *****” and called for her to “ride one of these [guns] into the sunset.” He told Obama to “suck on my machine gun.”
