Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) has been using the Marine Corps' official emblem in campaign mailers that smear his prospective Democratic opponent as a terrorist sympathizer.

NBC News reports that Hunter has been using the Marine Corps' emblem along with the slogan "No Better Friend, NO Worse Enemy" on campaign mailers that link prospective Democratic rival Ammar Campa-Najjar to terrorism.

The fliers link Campa-Najjar to Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and it refers to them all as "radical Democrats" who "want you to forget their anti-Semitism or Family-Terrorist Ties!" All three of the figures targeted by Hunter are Muslims

Economist Steve Pressman explains why we have a ceiling and why it’s time to abolish it.
