What the National Republican Senatorial Committee said about me being a "nerd"

Their latest attack about me and Magic: The Gathering [Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate] {NAME} — the NRSC and Josh Hawley’s oppo shop said it’s “disqualifying” to be a “nerd” who plays Magic: The Gathering. Well here’s what I have to say: Being a “nerd” wasn’t something we worried about when we played after long days while deployed — and it’s not what Missourians are worried about either. [On left, headline from the Washington Free Beacon that reads: Disqualifying: Democratic Senate Candidate Played 'Magic: The Gathering' With Journalist. On right, photos of Lucas from his time deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.]( Corrupt elites like Josh Hawley have spent years stripping communities across our state for parts. They use their power to control the lives of everyday Missourians instead of making them better and they’re desperate to make voters forget it. They know that this “nerd” — and the people-powered movement you’re helping us build — has a real shot to flip this Senate seat next year. But we can only do it with your help.
