Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) apparently finds shooting-related injuries funny.

One week after a St. Louis newspaper called him “the worst sitting senator in America,” Hawley mocked his Democratic general election opponent Lucas Kunce after a Kansas City TV reporter was injured by shrapnel at a local gun range in a campaign event mishap.

Their longstanding feud escalated Tuesday when KSHB reporter Ryan Gamboa was struck with a bullet fragment after Kunce fired a round at the shooting range. Hawley, a staunch gun rights advocate, used the incident as a political opportunity.

“I condemn all acts of violence against reporters and call on Kunce never to shoot another one,” Hawley wrote Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, before doubling down in another post: “I know the Kunce campaign needed a shot in the arm, but this is taking it a little far …”

Kunce held the campaign event with former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a noted Republican who has long distanced himself from the more radical factions of his party, and shared afterward that he used his training as a U.S. Marine veteran to treat Gamboa with a first-aid kit.

Hawley led the charge to deny the 2020 election results in favor of former President Donald Trump and recently tried to bait Kunce into a campaign-jeopardizing altercation at the Missouri State Fair.

In Hawley’s initial social media post about the Kunce campaign shooting range incident, he included three crying-laughing emojis. He wrote in another post with a screenshot from an article about the moment that this is what happens “When liberals play with guns.”

Kunce, who heads national security at the American Economic Liberties Project, didn’t take the mockery lying down. The Iraq War veteran shared security footage of Hawley fleeing the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

“The last time Josh Hawley saw a gun,” Kunce captioned the X video of Hawley walking out.

The Democratic challenger also called out the danger of Hawley’s response, especially in an era where candidates openly tout their fascistic dreams.

“Dude, are you serious right now?” Kunce reacted Tuesday to Hawley’s post about liberals and guns. “That’s a picture of a Marine treating a gunshot wound. Politics has caused you to lose the plot entirely.”

Hawley suggested Wednesday while speaking on Fox News about the Kunce campaign incident that they almost “killed a guy” for a “phony photo opp.”
