GOP Pollster Suggests 3-Armed Black People Crucial To 2024 WinBy David Moye
Feb 1, 2024, 05:01 PM EST | Updated an hour ago
A GOP pollster attempted to make a legitimate point about what the Republicans need to ensure a successful 2024 campaign, but his logic was thwarted by artificial intelligence.
Patrick Ruffini posted Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter) to point out that Republicans need to appeal to Black men if they want to win the White House.
However, his post included two photos of a Black man canvassing another Black man that seemed to have been created by AI.
What was the tell? Well, the two men are wearing shirts with incomprehensible logos, but, more important, one of the photos shows the voter has three hands, a demographic that would be considered statistically insignificant in political polls.

This tweet by GOP pollster Patrick Ruffini went viral when viewers noticed one of the men in the photo on the right has three arms.Twitter/@PatrickRuffini

(57,835 posts)3. I took that as GOP needing 3 black men armed with AR-15s or something.

it came out kind of discombobulated.

as pictured, probably never happened). At least check your damn results before you publish your crap.
Idiots. And if you look again, the person interviewing the homeowner has a different hat, a different clipboard, a different shirt, etc. And the homeowner has a different hat too (probably more but my point is made, talk about being lazy, eh? Edit your work at least). Or, the person doing this ad is a former puzzle editor, who made puzzles for the daily newspaper columns.

Correctly doing MAGA requires no less than 3 arms. Git gud and gro 1! Leave those 2-armed luddites in the dust!
