Attendees at a Kansas county Republican Party event punched, kicked and took a baseball bat to an effigy of President Biden on Friday, sparking backlash from former party officials.
The Johnson County Republican Party’s “Road to Red” event in suburban Overland Park, near Kansas City, featured donations in exchange for opportunities to hit a martial arts dummy with a rubber Biden mask and a “Let’s Go Brandon” T-shirt, according to photos and video from the evening.
Former Kansas GOP official Mike Kuckelman denounced the event and called on the party’s leaders to resign.
Kuckelman is slamming Kansas GOP Chair Mike Brown. However, in a statement to 27 News, Brown said, “The event Friday had nothing to do with KSGOP.”
Democrats are fuming.
Democratic commentator Kaivan Shroff wrote, “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.”
Below is a video of the incident:

KSGOP AND JCRP ENCOURAGED ATTENDEES TO BEAT EFFIGY OF BIDEN WITH BAT
Last night at a joint Ks GOP and JoCo Republican Party event they had an effigy of President Biden. Guests were invited to beat the effigy of Biden with a baseball bat in exchange for a donation.This conduct is shameful, and it is WRONG. Brown and Holiday must resign. Republicans, especially elected Republicans, must demand the resignations of Brown and Holiday. Silence is complicity in this case.
Hopefully, the only elected official in attendance was JoCo Sheriff Cal Hayden. He was seated in the front row roped off VIP area. Hayden had deputies in attendance to provide security.
Fellow Republicans, let’s not forget our outrage when Kathy Griffin engaged in similar shameful conduct against President Trump. We rightfully demanded she be cancelled. Please, we must speak equally as loudly in our opposition now.
I don’t agree with President Biden’s policies, but he is a fellow human being. No one should condone or defend this horrific and shameful conduct.
Please join me in condemning last night’s baseball bat beating of the effigy of President Biden, and join me in calling for resignations of Mike Brown and Maria Holiday. We are Republicans, and we are better than this.
Meanwhile, some Republicans in other states are wishing they had thought of it first.

“I will absolutely be having a punchable dummy Biden at our next Lincoln Reagan dinner this August! .”
