Republicans Under Fire for Attacking Joe Biden Effigy at Kansas Fundraising Event

An effigy of Joe Biden was kicked and bashed with a mallet by Republicans at a fundraising event in Kansas, prompting calls for the state’s GOP leaders to resign. The event, which featured conservative musician Ted Nugent as a speaker, allowed attendees to beat the effigy in exchange for a donation. Calls for resignations have been made by some Republicans, while others have condemned the behavior as "horrific and shameful." Democratic leaders have also called for denouncement of the behavior, labeling it as "vile and wrong."
