Rep. Tom Hackbarth (R-MN) |
A security guard at a St. Paul Planned Parenthood clinic called the cops last week after he spotted a Republican state lawmaker with a loaded gun in the parking lot. But the pol says he was only 'checking on' his online girlfriend, who he thought may be on a date with another man -- a claim police have not been able to corroborate because the man did not have a phone number or address for the woman.
Citizens of Minnesota State Legislative District 48A must be extra proud today! Nice work there, Minnesotans, you've got yourselves a real go-getter in Hackbarth. (Go-getter / Go-Get-Her ... see what I did there?)
