WATCH: Josh Hawley Tries To Ambush His Democratic Opponent And Gets Humiliated

Sen. Josh “Running Man” Hawley (R-MO) showed up at the Missouri State Fair on Thursday, but he wasn’t there to see the exhibits and enjoy the food. Instead, he decided he’d ambush his Democratic opponent, Lucas Kunce, and whine about the two not being able to arrange a debate.

Hawley posted a video of his confrontation with Kunce on Twitter, perhaps thinking it would make him look tough and spontaneous, but only proving what a complete douche he is.

The video begins with Hawley saying, “Guys, how are you? Let’s go find Lucas Kunce. Let’s go find him. Come on, where’s he been? I haven’t seen him, you guys seen him? He hasn’t been out of his basement two weeks, let’s go find him. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?”

After finding Kunce, Hawley exclaims,  “Lucas Kunce! We gonna debate today?”

Kunce: “How you doing, man?”

Hawley: “We gonna debate today?”

To that, Kunce notes, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, dude.”

Hawley:  “You don’t know!? I read your bullshit letter to the Farm Bureau. Are you going to sue the Farm Bureau?”

The Farm Bureau reference, according to HuffPost, involves a campaign contribution made to Hawley.

Kunce’s campaign has agreed to five televised debates, according to St. Louis Fox affiliate KTVI-TV. But Kunce would not participate in a non-televised debate hosted by the Missouri Farm Bureau that his campaign contends would violate campaign finance law, since the group endorsed Hawley and donated $5,000 to his campaign, according to the Missouri Independent.

In a letter to the bureau, the Kunce campaign cited Federal Election Commission law preventing organizations that endorse and financially back candidates from hosting debates, the website said.

“Lucas does not wish to expose the Farm Bureau or your members to unnecessary risk,” Kunce campaign manager Caleb Cavaretta wrote.

After a few seconds of back-and-forth between the two men, Hawley asks Kunce, “It’s great to see out of your basement, Lucas. By the way, are you gonna do any campaign events around the state or just media?”

That’s when Kunce struck Hawley with the perfect retort.

“Josh, why are you so weird? Man, why are you so creepy?”

Here’s the encounter at the state fair, as presented by Hawley:

Kunce responded with a posting of his own:

Hawley was dragged on Twitter for his stunt.
