Gun-lovin' Ron Johnson rushed to take down "mass murder" ad after 4th of July mass shooting

(Preface: not arguing moral/any equivalence at all, just curious about what we do that gives the Rs ammunition and ideally how to avoid it in the future)

Now you’ve got me wondering, we hear all about Rs making stupid mistakes like this on a regular basis, what are the D equivalents? The Ds are FAR from perfect, so it can’t be that “our side” never says something stupid.

Best I can think of is Pelosi’s poetry and fundraising email, and that time a congressman (I forget who, sorry) played a clip of Candace Owens on his phone without actually confronting her about what she said. Oh, and that yoga guy. These are all kind of ridiculous and/or tonedeaf, but not nearly to the extent of what the Rs get up to.

I’m not counting stuff Fox twists into supposed bullshit, but actual mistakes and cringeworthy moments.
