One Ugly Makeover: House Republicans Bringing Ted Nugent to State of the Union

House Republicans promised a makeover after Americans rejected their party in November – but who knew they were just going to get uglier?

An honored guest of House Republicans at the State of the Union address was Ted Nugent, who once threatened the President's life, equated feminists to "a fat pig who doesn't get it often enough" and called the President's supporters "pimps and whores."
