JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. (KAKE) - A former Kansas Republican leader is calling for the resignation of two current party leaders after behavior at a recent fundraiser event raised eyebrows online.

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. &quot 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.

BREAKING: Kansas Republican Party hosts fundraiser featuring accused child molester Ted Nugent where attendees could donate to assault President Biden in effigy.

A disgusting display designed to encourage political violence. The head of the Kansas GOP Mike Brown should resign.

[Think. Again.]

3. I strongly suspect that...

...no matter which way the election goes, rightwingers will follow the directions they have been getting from the republican party and be violent in many ways.

I hope Law Enforcement is preparing for this, but of course it will be difficult to protect the public from the random acts of violence they will commit.

14. Law Enforcement would be wise to be proactive to the extreme regards the election

A sizable portion of the GOP intends to seize control by ballot or other means.

Nothing would surprise me.

I am surprised and anxious on how far down the rabbit hole has already occurred. Distressed.

Too many in LE and the legal community (and military) support what has already gone on too long and extensive.

Perplexing but I am an ill senior citizen.

[PlutosHeart]

20. Am with you.

Totally get what you are feeling and saying. I too have my health issues and am a senior and caretake on top of it. Scary and concerning.

5. This cult is comprised of really sick puppies

[TSExile]

6. The party of hate, violence and rape apologists.

Horrifying but totally not surprising.

[Enquiring_Mind]

7. "former" Kansas Republican leader is calling for the resignation...

Must have been tossed for showing signs of decency.

[3Hotdogs]

8. still, I figure its better than the Repuke fundraiser about 10 years ago.

Donors got entered into a raffle for an AK 47.

18. Former Fla. congressman Ted Yoho would hold his campaign rallies at local gun shops.

He would raffle off AR-15s at each event to attract voters.

9. Looks like someone watched "Napoleon Dynamite"

and didn't listen to the principal's message.

[GiqueCee]

10. Brain-dead bags of rat excrement...

... with the intellectual capacity of a cheap diaper and the moral compass of a rabid hyena. But they have guns and bad attitudes, so there's that.

[The Wizard]

16. Rabid hyena

should be the symbol for the GQP. They're giving elephants a bad name.

[GiqueCee]

17. I'll do the logo and post it as soon as I figure out how!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

11. People have posted pics of trucks driven around with this sticker on the back

12. Most of them probably swung and missed.

13. If only we could

convert Texas into a MAGA-wildlife preserve. If that's how they want to live, let 'em live like that. On the other side of bars preferably, or a walled-off border if necessary.

15. Meanwhile drumpf pinatas are more popular than ever

[no_hypocrisy]

19. Not even trying to hide their penchant for fascism.

Losers.

21. Is everyone in the MAGAPub party under the age of 12?

My apologies to children who are more mature.
