In the posted images, a torso dummy is seen outfitted with a rubber mask of Biden’s face as well as a T-shirt reading, “Let’s Go, Brandon,” a conservative meme meant as an insult to the Democratic president.

Several people are shown trying to deliver roundhouse kicks to the dummy, while one woman is shown beating the effigy’s head with a bat.

The former GOP leader said people paid donations to bash the Biden at the event, which was highlighted by an appearance by 1970s rocker and conservative firebrand Ted Nugent.

In the responses to Kuckelman’s post, several other Kansas GOP officials similarly voice outrage over the scenes, according to the Lawrence, Kan., Journal World.

“We fight with our votes, NOT fists and bats. This is disgraceful!” wrote Julie Roller Weeks, vice chairwoman of the Dickinson County Republicans, while Brandon Kenig, a former chairman of the Kansas Young Republicans, called the episode “not surprising at all.

“It’s the logical extension of a cult-like mentality,” he wrote. “When a majority of the party base sees the opposition as inherently evil and dehumanizes them repeatedly over policy disagreements, it’s only a small step to simulated political violence and then actual political violence.”
