Politics sure makes for some unusual partnerships.

A screenshot of an Associated Press news article shows a photo of Philippine Vice President-elect Sara Duterte speaking at a podium with a Philippine flag behind her. The article's headline reads 'The Philippine vice president publicly threatens to have the president assassinated,' and the byline identifies the reporter as Jim Gomez. The article text below the photo states that Duterte said she has contracted an assassin to kill the president, his wife, and the House of Representatives speaker if she herself is killed, warning it was not a joke.
