N.C. senator apologizes for Clinton “bullseye” flap
Source: CBS News
North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican, apologized Monday night after an audio recording from this weekend revealed he had privately joked about a gun magazine not having a bullseye over a picture of Hillary Clintons face.
The comments came near the end of a meeting with GOP volunteers on Saturday in Mooresville, N.C., after Burr noticed a man in the room wearing a hat with the logo of the National Rifle Association (NRA). It is unclear whether Burr was aware that he was being recorded during the meeting.
Nothing made me feel any better than when I walked into a gun shop, I think yesterday in Oxford, and there was copy of Rifleman on the counter, its got a picture of Hillary Clinton on the front of it, Burr said, referring to the NRAs official magazine. I was a little bit shocked at that -- it didnt have a bullseye on it.
Burrs comments were first reported by CNN, which also posted the audio on YouTube.

Donald Trump & Pat McCrory are the reasons why they went this direction-- People are forgetting the Pat McCrory effect in NC this year- He isn't liked by Dems or Republicans.
