Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) isn't exactly warm and fuzzy. He once threatened to fight an online stranger who challenged his rejection of the 2020 election results. He's a firearms enthusiast who has publicly suggested that Black Lives Matter protesters should be met with force by police. More recently, Higgins personally manhandled a progressive activist at a press conference.
But even Higgins knows: you don't brag about shooting a puppy.
