Still beats some of the racist bullshit Repugs have pulled in past elections.
In 2018 midterms, campaign ads engaged in racist rhetoric
Monica RhorUSA TODAY
The barrage of racially divisive messaging in the 2018 midterm election cycle was inescapable.
Mailers depicted Jewish candidates clutching wads of cash. Robocalls in Georgia featured a person impersonating Oprah Winfrey, who described Stacey Abrams, running to be the first black female governor, as “a poor man’s Aunt Jemima.”
Attack ads in a New York congressional race cast an African-American candidate and Rhodes scholar as a “big-city rapper.” A Republican congressman in California sent out campaign literature questioning whether his Palestinian-Mexican opponent was a “national security threat.”
Less than a week before Election Day, President Donald Trump tweeted a 53-second video that portrayed a caravan of asylum-seeking immigrants as an invading horde – a spot decried as racist. During Trump's presidential campaign, he labeled Mexicans as rapists and criminals.
The number of racially divisive ads was jarring, said political scientists and researchers who track political advertising.
“The new surge in nakedly racist appeals shows that, for a segment of the country at least, racism is no longer anything to be ashamed of,” said Kevin Kruse, a history professor at Princeton University in New Jersey. “While these attacks would have been seen as huge mistakes in previous decades, they’re now seen by some strategists as a savvy move to mobilize a certain segment of white conservatives.”
That can be attributed, in part, to the diversity of this year’s Democratic candidates, which included a number of African-American, Latino, Muslim and Native American contenders, Kruse said.
Kruse said the turn to more overtly racist campaign messages can be traced to the Republican Party leader.
“Republican candidates do seem to be following the proven Trump blueprint of appealing to the fears and prejudices of white voters to a considerable degree,” Kruse said.
Jamila Michener, a professor at Cornell University in New York who studies the intersection of race and politics, said Trump’s rhetoric gave other Republicans permission to use language and race-baiting strategies once considered out-of-bounds.
“Look, if the commander in chief can open up his campaign by stigmatizing people who are immigrants and depicting them as rapists and that his campaign, continued at that pitch, with that level of racism, ends up being successful,” Michener said, “that's a signal to his counterparts across the political spectrum that our voters are open to this – and that at the very least, they will not dole out sharp consequences for it.”
In the Florida gubernatorial race, Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, who is black, was targeted by robocalls using offensive minstrel dialect and jungle music. Former Congressman Ron DeSantis, who defeated DeSantis, called the attacks “appalling and disgusting.” DeSantis was accused of racism during the campaign after he said, "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state."
“I’m not calling Mr. DeSantis a racist,” Gillum said in a debate. “I’m simply saying the racists believe he’s a racist.”
In California’s 50th Congressional District, Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter was re-elected, despite being indicted in August on charges of misusing campaign funds. His campaign was criticized for ads that tried to tie his opponent, Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar, who is of Palestinian-Mexican heritage, to radical Muslims and described him as a “national security risk” who is trying to “infiltrate Congress.”
“We stand by the ad. It’s factually correct,” Michael Harrison, a spokesman for the Hunter campaign, said on Election Day. “There’s nothing factually incorrect, and it’s important for people to know.”
In Iowa, GOP Rep. Steve King was re-elected to his seat in the 4th Congressional District even as he faced criticism for his ties to white nationalists, history of anti-immigrant and racist remarks and his support of a neo-Nazi party in Europe.
The Republican victories may clear the path for more racially charged rhetoric in campaigns, Michener said.
“It signals something to the other folks who are running about what the possibilities now are,” Michener said. “Unless it's alienating your own base in some way, or some part of your direct constituency, I don't think we're going to see as much disincentivization this year of this behavior as we might once have.”
In the past, mainstream candidates tried to distance themselves from egregious advertising, such as the infamous Willie Horton campaign ad.
The ad, put out by a conservative PAC in support of George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential bid, focused on Horton, a convicted murderer who committed a violent rape while out of prison on a furlough program supported by Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis. Lee Atwater, the Bush campaign manager, apologized for the “naked cruelty” of using Horton as political tinder.
In contrast, Kruse said, Trump seems to relish using charged rhetoric and tweeted the anti-immigrant ad, which was rejected as racist by CNN, then Fox News and NBC.
“Bush never would’ve pushed the mugshot ad under his own name, and certainly not personally, as all sides knew it would’ve killed his campaign,” Kruse said. “Trump put this out personally and proudly.”
People interviewed Tuesday were either repulsed by racist appeals or said they did not pay attention to the ads.
Doris Flores shrugged off the negative tactics. “I haven’t really paid attention to them,” said the 53-year-old nurse and Trump supporter, who is originally from the Philippines. Though she called the words coming out of the president’s mouth “horrible,” Flores said she likes his policies.
Tammy Brackens, 48, a nurse who lives in a Houston suburb, condemned the ads as “mudslinging and scare tactics.” She acknowledged that they could be effective in driving people to the polls out of fear.
“They’re disgusting, completely nauseating,” said retired artist David LeJeune, 69, a Democrat who lives in the Houston area. “Most of it is exaggeration completely geared to skew people who are easily manipulated.”
There were significantly more negative ads during this year’s midterms, according to an analysis by the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks political advertising. The number of negative ads rose 61 percent compared with 2014.
Seventeen percent of Republican ads in federal races centered on immigration. “This is where a lot of the racially tinged advertisements were being seen,” said Travis Ridout, co-director for the Wesleyan Media Project. “We were not seeing a lot of ads showing the wonderful contributions immigrants have made to the fabric of our country. They were making people scared of people coming across the border.”
Michener said the stoking of racial divisions runs deeper than the current political leadership. It’s a continuation of dynamics long at play in American politics.
“President Trump has certainly sparked that. He's amplified it and exacerbated it, but he's working with what was already there,” Michener said. “A lot of that stuff has been embedded in our polity from before the beginning, before we were even the United States. It never goes away.”
At times, she said, it is more latent. Other times, it is more blatant.
“This is a kind of blatant period for us,” Michener said. “Race and racism is out front as part and parcel of who we are as a country.”

That might be facts but this thread is about Pocahantas team sloppily trying to finesse us.
Have a seat and enjoy the jokes.
Bruh in the chair like..."I ain't signed up for this bullshit."
What she (or her campaign or whatever political action committee) tried to do with this is pretty comical. In the grand scheme of things, it's a funny misstep, easily correctable if her and her people are willing to do so.
Dude in the brown coat has painted on eyebrows...look closely.
This shit is a photo set.
Playa in the chair ain't even wearing the neck strip
How dare you discredit our native american sista like that!
LOLHow dare you discredit our native american sista like that!
I know exactly how to correct this:
MSNBC: Intel sources say Russia creating fake black barbershops
How could she have known? *wink*
How many chances this fake bitch get though? She in Arizona pandering and calling the bill to ban trans from women sports cruel. She magically flipped on marijuana in her fucking 60s. She used fake minority status. Now a fake barbershop.
Bitch is trash. I said it well over a year ago when she botched her DNA tests. She needs to rid her staff of those ultra cac hippies. They keep giving her bad advice. This barber shop looks like it was designed by the same hippie who told her to call the trans bill cruel.
Jesus Christ this bitch makes Sanders look like a political gawd and that's hard to fucking do.
In regards to the"barber shop" video, it further proves that both parties have issues when it comes to soliciting the black vote. Why it so hard to have a sit down with black folks from all walks of life and ask them what do they want is beyond me. I ask that about both parties.How many chances this fake bitch get though?

As for the rest, enough people have overlooked, forgave, ignored Trump's past and voted him in office. Are we really going to hold her to a much higher standard than the current acting president?

She keeps trying to pander to the woke Twitter crowd. Twitter does not represent the American General electorate.
Talking about filling half your cabinet with non binary transgenders at the White House is not going to win you a election. When people care about healthcare and food table issues.
Like Bill Maher said. All the democrats have to do is not be crazy and they can’t even get that right.
“Trump is bad but the other side is crazy and nuts “
all these theatrics for naught.
To get black support...have a valid plan for a black agenda and reparations.
It's THAT goddamn simple.
You all are seeing how important the black vote is now....
Let the pandering begin....I predict that reparations talk will ramp up in the near future.
If we dont show up and show out....the dems lose again.
Just stop playing......and give in to our demands....it's THAT simple

He looks like he doing this "Against his will".They must've got these guys from a temp service.Playa in the chair ain't even wearing the neck strip
This shit has nothing to do with Warren. At best someone from the campaign paid these cats to do outreach or ads and they took the bread and did this wack shit. At worse, this is some cats clowning on they own.
But the pics....
Stop believing what white trump supporters tell you. Hardawayz16 is white. Probably another username for Bumbay little dick dog
Where is the proof this was staged? Read the twitter thread doesn’t seem staged. If it was, where is the proof Warren had anything to do with it?
Looks entirely fake to me. The shop isn't set up like any I've been to. Is the account verified?
I don't get caught up in optics bullshit any longer. Focus on her policy and how that will affect you, yours, your community (US). She has and continues to use the system as is to effectuate the change/s we need to get ahead. To some it may not be the enormous progress we should be making, but she has and continues to push out policies that are highly relevant to combat our everyday struggles.
You're in the other thread saying Bernie is getting "help" from the Russians but for THIS you're demanding proof?
Lol...could have just asked LeBron to use his set.
It was an honest mistake - to Elizabeth Warren these look exactly alike
Yo i need to know the truth behind all this
Cause this is just stupid silly and offensive
Its not gonna make me hate Warren but damn
Even though Bill Maher seems obsessed with Trump, he does analyze the situation with logic, not emotion. But doing so gets him the anger of the nutjobs deep on the left. He's fell out of favor with folks who don't like his logical approach. They want him to cheerlead the dumbest shit.
The reason I didn't think twice about this video coming from Warren is her history of pandering and doing/saying goofy ass shit. This video isn't nearly as foolish as her education board proposals.
The only thing Maher says that I don't agree with is that Trump won't leave if voted out. I think playing into that narrative is just as dangerous as the other emotional shit.
Bill Maher is a old school democrat like me. I can’t get with all the far left shit like transgenders in women’s bathrooms, pronouns and whatever new woke shit they come up on Twitter. Which is why
I’m a independent now.
Bill Maher is talking like how the democrats use to be in the 90s and the later 2010.
Now too many democrats of today are on this goofy shit, woke shit and then they wonder why people vote for trump. Just stop talking crazy and trump should be easy to beat.
I'm tryin to zoom in, to see if hes using Andis clippers
That's going to be the real tell
And usually barbers have at least 2 or 3 more different clippers hanging from a hook
I don't see anything else but the clippers hes holding, unless the others are not in the frame of the picture?
.....
And hold up, am I trippin or is that (light grey) carpet?
What fuckin barbershop has carpet on the floor?
They gonna use a vacuum every hour, instead of a broom to sweep up the old hair

Bill Maher is a 'live and let live' person like myself. There's a disconnect between his type of liberal and the woke, intolerant liberal. There as always been 'woke', intolerant nuts, but now the Internet has allowed them to unite like voltron and bully their way into power.
People are really scared to question the bullshit because of being labeled xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, a racist, or whatever term the 'woke' bullies come up with.
Man don't do that. Look at that bullshit. Just look at the damn barber. That nigga's shirt looks like it's still in the package. The whole fiasco is fucking nonsense and unnecessary.
