Illinois gov launches bleeped-out campaign ad saying state would be 'f---ed' under his opponent

Illinois gov launches bleeped-out campaign ad saying state would be 'f---ed' under his opponent

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 10/23/18 03:27 PM EDT



Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) has launched a new campaign ad that declares his stated “f----d” if voters elect his opponent.

The ad, “Unholy Union,” depicts actors playing Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker and Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan (D) in a wedding ceremony.

The Pritzker and Madigan lookalikes exchange vows, which include a commitment to become “unlawful [partners] in destruction, to raise property taxes, corrupt government and bankrupt Illinois' future.”

“By the power vested in me, I now pronounce Illinois f—ed,” the officiant says. The vulgarity is bleeped out, but his lips and pronunciation of the word are clearly visible.
