GOP House candidate threatens to shoot 'looting hordes' in majority-black city

Paul Broun, a former congressman, is running again in a Georgia district that is 88% white.
Paul Broun, a Republican running for Congress in Georgia, released a racist ad on Tuesday in which he touted the efficiency of a semi-automatic rifle in dealing with people from the majority-black city of Atlanta.
"In uncertain times like these, the right to defend yourself, your property, and your family could not be more important," said Broun, who represented Georgia's 10th Congressional District from 2007 to 2015.
"Whether it's looting hordes from Atlanta or a tyrannical government from Washington, there are few better liberty machines than an AR-15," he added, brandishing one of the rifles.
More than half of Atlanta's residents are black, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Broun, who lives in the town of Gainesville, is now running for Congress in the 9th Congressional District, which is 88% white and located 75 miles from the Georgia capital.

Reached for comment about possible "hordes" of looters, a spokesperson for the Gainesville Police Department said in an email that he was not aware of any concerns about the issue.
"As you are aware, many times rumors or nonvalidated information gets circulated," he added.
