GOP Members Fire At Muslim Targets At Local Range

A group of South Florida Republicans held a recent weekly meeting at a gun range. While that is not anything unusual, the fact that that the group of Republicans spent time shooting at targets including cut-outs of a Muslim holding a rocket-propelled grenade launcher surprised many.

The GOP candidate to replace U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Robert Lowry, was also a part of the group and fired at a full-body silhouette with "DWS" written next to its head.

Wasserman-Schultz declined comment, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee called the Tuesday event "extremist" and "sexist." Lowry initially described the target as a joke, but minutes later called it a mistake.

Others in the Southeast Broward Republican Club event refused to apologize for the target practice that featured both assault rifles and handguns.
