racist singer to play him on stage? Let's make it clear what they're doing, here~!

They're desperate to appeal to pissed off poor whites--they think they'll be stupid enough to overlook the corporate fucking they'll get from this party because they'll be too busy cheering on the race-hating, tough guy bullshit.

Is rMoney stupid, though? He's going to juxtapose himself with Eastwood? There will be comparisons made in people's minds. I wouldn't have put both speeches on the same night.
