GOP opponent literally takes aim at Wasserman Schultz

I'm speechless.

I honestly don't know what to say about reports that a Republican challenger to EMILY's List alum Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz actually shot at a picture meant to represent the congresswoman when he and his pals from the local Republican club got together at a shooting range.

I'd like to say this is an "Are you kidding me moment?!" but that doesn't even begin to cut it.

According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, several members of the Southeast Broward Republican Club got together at a local shooting range this week. Robert Lowry, who is looking to unseat Wasserman Schultz next November, apparently saw this as an opportunity to let off steam. Lowry’s target was the traditional black human silhouette with the letters “DWS” scrawled next the silhouette’s head.

Obviously, Lowry's actions were horrifying. But even worse, Lowry initially called this a “joke”!

While Debbie has been speaking out about her own battle with breast cancer and the importance of breast cancer awareness month -- along with standing up for women's rights just this week -- her opponent has been shooting at her picture.

And this is the person Republicans want to send to Congress?
