Ted Nugent shares mock video of Clinton being shot
In an edited video posted on Facebook by conservative rock star Ted Nugent, Bernie Sanders shoots Hillary Clinton.
In the video clip from a CNN debate, the Democratic presidential rivals are discussing gun control when a smirking Sanders pulls out a gun, edited into the video, and shoots Clinton, the Democratic front-runner.
{mosads}”It’s not a laughing matter. Ninety people on average a day are killed,” Clinton says before she is edited to appear to be shot and falls off stage.
The moderator then cuts to a commercial break.
“I got your gun control right here b—,” Nugent wrote in a caption accompanying his post. The rocker, who has previously been criticized for what some say are anti-Semitic and racist comments, noted the Facebook post is going viral.
Clinton has repeatedly targeted Sanders over gun control on the campaign trail.
The video was edited from a previous CNN debate and drew criticism on Twitter.

Would someone — anyone — explain how you can stay a member of the NRA as long as Ted Nugent is a member? https://t.co/zs5gDfpXq1
