Things got spicy at a Republican county campaign event in Perryville, Missouri, last Friday, in an expletive-filled confrontation that was caught on video.
State Sen. Denny Hoskins cursed out Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, calling him“chicken shit” numerous times, as well as “a fucking coward.”
Hoskins is running for Ashcroft’s office in the GOP primary, and is also a member of the extremist Missouri Freedom Caucus. In a post on X, Hoskins said the incident took place after Ashcroft finished a speech at the event. According to Hoskins, Ashcroft pointed his finger in Hoskins’ wife’s face and “barked off to her.” A spokesperson for Ashcroft’s campaign denied it and told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Hoskins “just flew off the handle for no reason.”
