Late Thursday evening, federal agents arrested Tuffy Gessling, the rodeo clown that donned an Obama mask at the Missouri State Fair, for committing a hate crime. Tuffy has been moved to an unnamed detention center for further questioning, possibly regarding terroristic intentions.
The National Report spoke briefly with Mr. Gesslings attorney, Reid Nosse who had this to say:
My client is suffering severe mental stress from this incident. Hes broken. From this point on, he will be nothing but a sad clown: a smile painted on the outside, but actually crying on the inside. He will never again wear his squeaky red nose with pride. He was simply exercising his right to free speech.
A spokesperson for President Obama declined to comment on the situation.
