Democratic Senate Member Played” Romance: The Collecting” With Journalist: Disqualifying

Lucas Kunce, a former female cheerleader who competed for the title of losing to Josh Hawley in 2024, is still plagued by the Free Beacon rumor.

What happened: Lucas Kunce, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri, played Magic: The Gathering with a journalist from Time magazine, a once-respected publication.

The Washington Free Beacon‘s’s official report about Kunce, a huge nerd who served as the Yale cheerleader and was detained for harassing his neighbors with Lucky Charms because their weed-smoking irritated him, was undoubtedly the inspiration for the resulting article. ( Yes, in all seriousness. ) In his give day, he also enjoys playing card games with genius themes.

NERD ALERT: Very Adult Cheerleader at Yale, Democrat Senate Candidate Likes Magic the Gathering

Nerd alert: Mini Racker, the Time reporter, attempts to explain what happened during the gathering of magic. We’re pretty sure that Kunce kicked her ass and enjoyed doing it like one of those rare nerd-bully hybrids. Beyond that, who the hell knows?

Driving the news, defending democracy: The Free Beacon is dedicated to speaking truth to power and afflicting the comfortable, which includes members of the political party that controls the federal government. Our story on Kunce’s nerd tendencies forced the candidate to take an extreme position and embrace an odious ideology to placate the radical nerd fringe.

What they’re saying: “They just don’t understand how everyday people live,” Kunce said of the millions of hardworking Americans who are understandably weirded out by Magic: The Gathering and other nerd-involved activities.

Some context: Kunce is one of those stock-image white guy candidates the Democratic Party likes to nominate in conservative states where they are almost definitely going to lose.

He graduated from Yale and Columbia’s’s Ivy League and is currently employed by the American Economic Liberties Project, a phony say tank. He previously practiced law in the Marines. He just started speaking with a Southwestern accent. ( God bless his heart. )

Kunce will almost certainly lose, but not before the mainstream media releases a number of puff-piece profiles that give the impression that he has an equal chance of defeating Sen. Josh Hawley( R., Missouri ). when, in reality, he doesn’t.

Beto O’Rourke, beta version: Time describes Kunce as “a clean-cut, populist Marine vet who could give Democrats a fighting chance in a deep red state.” Based on what, exactly? On his first failed Senate campaign in 2022, when he “got buzz in the national press as the sort of Democrat who might be able to face a Republican in a state that seemed to be turning darker red.”

Kunce failed to possibly advance past the Democratic primary that date. A liquor daughter defeated him. However, he created” buzz ,” giving him the” fighting chance” to defeat a Republican incumbent in the state that Donald Trump won by more than 15 % in 2020. Yes, perhaps.

Why it matters: In a free and just society, playing Magic: The Gathering with a journalist would disqualify someone from seeking public office. To paraphrase one of America’s most formidable intellectual prognosticators: “We don’t want nerds elected in Missouri. No nerds!”
