To suggest that anyone who hunts or carries a firearm is racist directly insults half the country, and public officials should be called out on that. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of each politician in this election, so there's no need to resort to that.

At first read it struck me as offensive, but if you look at the context, the audience laughed... it was intended to be sarcastic. I don't know if it bothers me as a joke. Coming from a public official it reveals a sort of closed mindedness that I wouldn't want to vote for, but I'm not sure I'd call it hate.
