I don’t care whether you are liberal or conservative, this is a pretty funny gaffe. How stupid could her staff be? And I say this as someone who is really impressed with her and hopes she goes far in politics.
Kick off the campaign in the “Spirit of John Wayne Gacy” — that is funny.
Yes, I had a good laugh with this one; however I blame her staff. I hope someone is not doing this deliberately to her.
Perhaps I haven’t a sense of humor. I don’t find this funny at all. I find it unfortunate. She’s in the running to replace an incompetent screwup as the President of the United States of America.
Hiring Rollins was her first mistake. This is #what?
Screwups don’t cut it when one is running against a screwup.
She will cut, slash, and hack the federal budget in the spirit of serial killers everywhere.
Staff? It’s very hard to understand how anyone would confuse Gacy and John Wayne.
The most charitable explanation is just that she mistakenly believed John Wayne was from her home town as opposed to his real Iowa town. I gather she hasn’t lived in Iowa in a long time.
She also may simply have meant John Wayne was from Iowa but made the gaffe of mentioning the specific town she was in.
It’s the writers who are making the connection that she confused J W Gacy being born there with John Wayne. She probably never knew Gacy was born there.
John Wayne Gacy was a Democrat who met the Carters famously.
John Wayne Gacy also was a homosexual.
The media highlights what the editors want to highlight.
To quote Larry the Cable guy: “I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.”
