Makes one wonder if the “self-inflicted gunshot” isn’t a case of Arkancide, doesn’t it?

This is a shocker. Missouri has a REpublican veto proof Senate and House now, but Dims still can win state wide elections. Nonetheless, he ran for re-election as auditor last year unopposed by a Dim.

Yes, it does. Who was the “self” that inflicted it would be my question.

Nope, shot himself in the head and through the gun out the window.
