“You are a bought and paid for, pathetic narcissist. If you had any honor, you would challenge me, or any of my Republican colleagues to a duel instead of strutting around posting pictures with a rifle threatening to shoot RINOS… Kiss my ass!”
— Texas state Rep. Glenn Rogers (R), quoted by the Texas Tribune, to Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller (R), who backed his GOP primary opponent.
