WTF! - AR-15-toting Black AZ Republican attacks 'KKK Democrats' in Klan hoods in new advert

Calling Democrats Klansmen is similar to accusing Trump's opponents of storming the Capitol, except it goes deeper than that.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/campaign-ad-criticizing-kkk-democrats-nonsensical-insulting-n1296883



In a ridiculous new campaign ad released this week, Jerone Davison, a Black Republican in Arizona who’s running for Congress, scares off what he calls Ku Klux Klan Democrats by brandishing an assault-style rifle.



A Black man claiming he needs an AR-15 to keep a dozen Ku Klux Dems from invading his home may believe he’s being clever, but really, he’s just making an argument for putting would-be gun owners through a battery of cognitive tests. Because anybody arguing that today’s Klan and today’s Democrats are simpatico doesn’t have good walking-around sense, to say nothing of good walking-around-with-a-gun sense. But Davison must know that nonsense is more likely to make him attractive to the voters he wants to send him to the House, especially the kind of nonsense that implies that Black people are fools to vote blue.



“Democrats like to say that no one needs an AR-15 for self-defense, that no one could possibly need all 30 rounds,” we hear a voice say as Davison stands in his window with an AR-15-style rifle watching a whole klavern of Klansmen approach with a barbed bat and, for some reason, an assortment of garden tools. “But when this rifle is the only thing standing between your family and a dozen angry Democrats in Klan hoods, you just might need that semi-automatic. And all 30 rounds.”








Before we get to the main point, let’s pause to point out the ad’s assumption that a dozen Klansmen looking to invade this Black man’s home would themselves eschew AR-15s in favor of garden rakes and hatchets. In what part of Arizona would a homeowner have 30 rounds and a dozen Klansmen not have 360? But that’s the reality that the GOP’s gun fetishists consistently ignore as they promote a political philosophy based on old Westerns: There’s nothing about being a so-called good guy with a gun that provides an advantage over a bad guy with the same.

He's running for office and he's appealing to the lowest element in our society. Politicians are supposed to bring people together so that we can accomplish great things. This guy is obviously all out for himself and will do or say anything to get what he wants. What a piece of shit!

And was a flop there, so I guess he decided jump his ass into politics, to become a black lying Nazi himself. He was a failure with the Raiders, but maybe the folks in Arizona love themselves some black Nazis. I wonder if he like Herschel "baby daddy" Walker is suffering from a touch of CTE 🤔

And, it's likely more than "a touch" of CTE. He fits in well with the Arizona GOP. Being stupid and batshit crazy are prerequisites for membership.

People who run dangerous and violent video's asking other Taliban members to MURDER RHINO's who don't agree with them, and who is also a Wife beater who beat his wife while tied up in a chair and who forced her to give him oral sex for hours (Grietiens Missouri), wife KILLERS (Wilhoite, Indiana), pedophiles (Gaetz and God knows who else), pedophile enablers (Gym Jordan) people who pal around with pedophiles who could possibly be having an affair with him (She's done it before) while calling others pedophiles and amoral (Racist, Traitor Greene), just as bad and worse running for political offices or they're IN political office courtesy of the the party of family values: The GQP US Taliban Party. IF these pieces of dung were Dems (And they wouldn't be), most in the so-called Liberal media which is not liberal at all would be running with these stories night and day. Andrea Mitchell, like an African Grey Parrot constantly repeating, "But her emails" completely wore me OUT.

Nobody should wonder why they don't want the whole slavery/civil rights history taught in schools. Having an ignorant populace makes it easier for them to get away with this kind of bullshit.

fact that the KKK was started by Democrats and is run by Democrats.”

Steinbart is described as “a.k.a. BabyQ, a QAnon influencer who claims to be from the future” and in 2020 “was arrested on suspicion of using a synthetic, urine-filled penis to dodge drug tests.”
