Halloween is days away, but Thursday night’s gubernatorial debate took a scary turn.
Libertarian Jeff Caldwell called Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach a “monster,” but it had nothing to do with voting rights or immigration.
Caldwell castigated Kobach for telling supporters of medical marijuana to go eat Doritos at the State Fair debate in Hutchinson last month.
“That is abhorrent. He is a monster. That’s horrible,” Caldwell said of Kobach’s Doritos comment.
Kobach had his own retort Thursday night, even hinting that Caldwell might be dabbling in the substance so that he would likely he see something Frankenstein-like.
“Monster, huh?” Kobach said. “I am not quite sure how to respond to that one, although I suppose that it could indicate experimentation that one thought I was a monster by merely making an argument.
“I guess I will have to be careful because if I make more arguments that Jeff finds scary, he might call me a monster again.”
Independent Greg Orman at one point added, “I’ve heard Kris called a monster before, but never for Doritos.”
Democrat Laura Kelly: “I don’t like Doritos.”
