Tuesday Was a Microcosm of Everything Wrong with the Democrats’ Closing Pitch — Duane Patterson

I missed this:

Hitting a steel target that close with that kind of firepower goes against all safety norms, because of course, the law of physics would indicate that there’s going to be a ricochet, or at least uncontrolled shrapnel flying around. Added to the mix is that on the table from which they shot behind were containers of tannerite. You know, explosives. What could have been an absolute disaster had hot shrapnel landed in one of those jars, literally blowing up Kinzinger, the Senate nominee, and the group of spectators and reporters, ended up winging one of the reporters in the arm. Yes, Republicans loathe reporters. But Democrats are accidentally shooting them. Josh Hawley, who never was in harm’s way, physically or electorally, reacted on X this way.
