Today's Tweet



It never ends - the fuckery just goes on and on and on.

After a racist ad discouraging black voters from backing the Democrats went viral, the Republican Party’s attempts to win one of the left’s most influential voting blocs likely got harder. But the truth for the GOP is that the ad isn’t the main reason blacks aren’t backing conservatives in the midterm.

Black Americans for the President’s Agenda, a super PAC, released a radio ad in support of U.S. Rep. French Hill’s (R-Ark.) reelection campaign warning black Arkansans that Democrats winning Congress could reverse the clock to the days of Jim Crow and state-sponsored segregation.


A shockingly racist radio ad from a super PAC calling itself Black Americans for the President’s Agenda went viral on Thursday evening. The spots, running on radio stations popular with black voters in Arkansas and Missouri, urge black women to back Republican Rep. French Hill in Arkansas’ 2nd congressional district, Republican Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley in his U.S. Senate campaign, and GOP candidates in general.

Their factually inaccurate argument: if Democrats accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual predation without evidence, black “men and boys” will be subject to “race verdicts, life sentences, and lynchings when a white girl screams ‘rape!'”

The donors bankrolling this committee, however, appear to be rich, conservative ideologues, not the actual “Black Americans” they claim to be.
