There’s dirty politics and there's just plain gross politics: A bag of human excrement was reportedly left in front of a pizza joint founded by a former Illinois congressman.

Rep. Bobby Schilling (R-Ill.) opened Saint Giuseppe’s Heavenly Pizza with his wife back in 1996. His son took the reins of the shop when Schilling served in the House from 2011 to 2013, before losing a reelection bid.

But according to KWQC-TV, an apparently unhappy customer delivered the not-so-nice package, along with a politically infused message, to the Moline business’s doorstep last week. The note “compared the pizzas to what’s in the bag and expressed anger that the pies made there are Republican,” the TV station reports.

Schilling’s son, Joe, who now owns the eatery, told the station, “I’ve got a lot of really good friends that are Democrats and a lot of really good friends that are Republicans.”

Joe Schilling says the pies his restaurant is serving up are definitely not partisan.

“My pizza place is where we come to eat pizza and, you know, share a good time,” Schilling said. “There’s someone out there that wants to come between that, and I don’t appreciate that. I’m just trying to run a business.”
