GOP shootings: Ted Nugent vows to tone down his political attacks

Ted Nugent, the Motor City Madman and a great patriot, is turning over a new leaf.

From The Wrap:

Rockstar and conservative activist Ted Nugent has promised to tone down his hateful political rhetoric on the heels of accused gunman James T. Hodgkinson opening fire on the GOP congressional baseball team in Alexandria, Virginia on Wednesday. Some lawmakers and media members have blamed hateful political rhetoric for the incident.

"I'm not going to engage in that kind of hateful rhetoric anymore," Nugent said Thursday on "Curtis & Eboni," a political talk show on WABC Radio in New York.

Curtis Silwa and Fox News host Eboni K. Williams grilled Nugent on "hateful" rhetoric, which the rock star is no stranger to. Nugent has made threats against former President Obama several times in the past, including telling Obama to “suck on my machine gun.” He also made inflammatory remarks about Hillary Clinton, calling her a "devilbitch" who "hates everything good about America."

Nugent said the subject has reached a critical stage and said he "re-evaluated his approach" to the tough-guy language he learned growing up as a “street fighter” in Detroit.
