Congressional candidate recorded pepper-spraying his eyes and waterboarding himself to promote gun control

A man who wants to be elected went to extremes to convince people to vote for him.

Levi Tillemann, a Democratic candidate in Colorado’s congressional primary, released an ad to promote gun control and school safety.

Tillemann does not want teachers in the public schools to be armed.

Instead, he wants to arm teachers with a non-lethal solution such as pepper spray that will be locked in a glass cabinet to neutralize a shooter without killing anyone.

To demonstrate his point, Tillemann released a video showing him using the pepper spray on his eyes and placing his head in a big container of soapy water.

In the ad, Narae Choi, who according to the video is an “immigrant, mother to a young boy, and a New Citizen,” points to her son, saying: “In a few years, he will be in school and Donald Trump wants to give his teacher a gun?!”
