he didn’t realize he had hit a man until he returned to the scene the next morning and found him while looking for the animal he thought he had hit.

If you thought you’d killed an animal is there any point in returning and looking for it?

Doesn’t pass the smell test.

Ravnsborg said he immediately called 911 after the crash on U.S. Highway 14 and that he didn’t realize he had hit a man until he returned to the scene the next morning and found him while looking for the animal he thought he had hit.

Who in the hell searches the side of the road for a carcass the day after hitting what they thought was a deer the previous evening. WTF?

Someone who knows they killed a human.

You would think that an AG would know to come up with a plausible story and stick with it. This guy is obviously stupid but that isn’t a surprise.

The people at the event need to be questioned about how drunk he was when he left.

I bet there is a DUI involved somewhere that will never be charged.

Noem will have to pardon him, seeing as he’s the victim of a Deep State setup.

What’s fun is that the worst that will happen to Ravnsborg is the current PR trouble, which will be over by tomorrow. May also have to hire a lawyer if the deceased man’s family decides to sue. That’s it.

Even tools like Ravnsborg are “made men” in the GOP mafia, and therefore untouchable.

He was reaching for “some tobacco” – does Attorney General Roll Your Own also regularly feast on road kill? Sounds totally normal to me.

It was the man who got hit who said that’s how he’d crashed, not the AG.

I’ll bet he was reaching for his bottle.

Maybe this is where DAnon starts. Because clearly, there’s a Deep Derp cabal of right wing cannibals who get wasted and hunt humans. “Fundraiser,” my arse. We know why he really went back to look for the body.

Another case of thinking “What would happen to me if I did this?”
