GOP Hopeful Films Himself Shooting Voting ‘Machine’ Owned by ‘Godless Commies’

The far-right candidate running for local office in Oklahoma took his frustration out on his home printer... while partaking in some lousy theater.

In a video posted to social media Monday, largely unknown local Republican Oklahoma state Senate hopeful Jarrin Jackson opened fire on a home printer while pretending it was a Dominion voting machine. “Who owns this?” the candidate asked himself before opening the printer’s lid, which read: “Property of: Godless Commies.” Jackson ransacked the printer, on which he had drawn a series of bogus phrases with a black marker. “Burn the Bible,” one of the printer pages read. After getting off the “horn” with the “Constitution,” he then declared that the inanimate machine was a “major threat” before opening fire on it with an assault rifle. “We’re going to dispense with some justice,” he concluded, “don’t tell anyone.” Responding to the video, a Dominion spokesperson told The Daily Beast: “Election misinformation is dangerous on its own, but violent demonstrations directly endanger our employees and customers who have been targets of ongoing harassment and threats.”
