Donald Trump Jr Goes On ‘Peasant Hunt’ With White Nationalist Congressman

First-son Donald Trump Jr. went on a so-called “peasant hunt” with highly controversial alt-right politician Rep. Steve King of Iowa.

While it seems the two actually went pheasant hunting and did not in-fact hunt down plebeians, the GOP congressman did accidentally tweet a photo of the two posing with firearms captioned: “Steve King’s annual Bud Day Peasant Hunt. ‘If Donald Trump Jr. defends 2nd Amendment as well as he shoots, we have nothing to worry about.'”

King — who has a long, long, long, long history of spewing racist comments — deleted the “peasant hunt” post and ultimately replaced it with a corrected “pheasant hunt” tweet, but that didn’t stop Twitter from having fun with the typo:

“Well sir, it turns out ‘Peasant Hunt’ is actually already taken.”

“Damn. Back to the drawing board.”
