Duncan's Democratic challenger suggested he look at a map.
The California Republican —who was indicted in August for allegedly misusing campaign funds—courted controversy this past week when he posted a video that showed him scaling what he called “the grand border wall” between the U.S. and Mexico.
"So here is the grand border wall in Yuma, Arizona," Hunter said in the video, pointing toward a low barrier shrouded in darkness."This is what we expect to stop people, transnational terrorists, families, all illegal aliens from coming across the border. This is it."The video then shows Hunter swing his legs over the low fence and stand firmly on the other side.
“Can Hunter’s please show him a map?,” he wrote. “...He also needs to be shown the Colorado River, which is a secondary barrier he’d need to cross to get to Mexico.” Along with wife, Margaret Jankowski, Duncan has been indicted on 60 counts of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations. According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, the pair allegedly misused $250,000 in campaign funds on personal expenditures, including shopping trips at Nordstrom and family vacations, and tried to disguise some of that spending as charitable donations to organizations.“I fought for our nation against terrorists in the Marine Corps,” he wrote.
