I have absolutely nothing against Hillary Clinton, but I know she’s the butt of many political jokes. Including this new Hillary Nutcracker. I will admit it’s funny, in a sick kind of way.

Have a friend with anger management issues? Try this as a gift ;)

Nutty Squirrel Nutcracker is made from cast aluminum, is 5 3/4″ tall, […]
