Joe the Plumber: ‘Put a Damn Fence on the Border and Start Shooting’

[AlphaCentauri]

Joe the Plumber is back.

The hapless handyman from 2008 who became famous overnight for supposedly being the embodiment of the working class is now a Congressional candidate in Ohio, where, among other things, he has been blaming the Holocaust on German gun control.

Last Friday he was speaking at a fundraiser in Arizona held by Republican state senator Lori Klein (and attended by the infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio), when he dropped this on the audience, apparently sensing a friendly crowd:

“You know, for years, I’ve said, you know, ‘Put a damn fence on the border going to Mexico and start shooting.’ I’m running for Congress, and that should be a bad thing to say. You know what, that’s how I feel. I’m not going to hide it because I’m running for an office. I want my borders protected. I’m very, very adamant about that.”

6. He stole that from me - I muttered it once to myself when feeling

extremely piqued about the problem.

But unlike him, I didn't actually mean it.
