A man saw something out of a nightmare when a deep sea monster washed up on a San Diego beach.

According to KGTV, Jay Beiler was walking on Black's Beach on Nov. 13 when he spotted a scary-looking fish he thought was a jellyfish.

With that handy handle on its head it would make a beautiful satchel for Democrat carpetbaggers in the next election. Go door to door with it to pass out vote-by-mail ballots.

Okay it’s ugly. But it could win a beaty contest if Hillary was the only other contestant.
