When asked about President Trump’s tweet singling out Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.) said that it was justified. Then he said that someone “needs to go over there to that Senate and snatch a knot in their ass.”

Carter’s comments come only a day after Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) was caught on a hot mic making fun of Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas). Farenthold said that if Collins were a man, he would duel her over her health care vote.
Several expressed disgust for Carter’s suggestion:

Buddy Carter is threatening physical harm on a female sitting Senator. He should be censured and removed from Congress immediately. https://t.co/eKjc8g1QcL
