YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE NAME DON BLANKENSHIP BECAUSE A FEW
YEARS AGO HE SPENT A YEAR IN JAIL BECAUSE OF A MINING
DISASTER IN ONE OF HIS MINES THAT TOOK THE LIVES OF 29 COAL
MINERS.
NOW HE IS BACK.
DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK, BUT HE WANTS
TO BE YOUR SENATOR FROM WEST VIRGINIA AND HE'S IN A VERY
CONTESTED PRIMARY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.
HE HAS
ATTEMPTED TO STAND OUT IN THE REPUBLICAN FIELD BY USING RACIAL
SLURS WHICH I SAY IS A STUPID STRATEGY, THEY ARE ALL DOING IT,
YOU FOOL, BUT HE HAS COME UP WITH WHAT I HAVEN'T HEARD IN A
WHILE, AND IT IS "CHINAPERSON," WHICH HE DOESN'T THINK IS A
RACIAL SLUR.
HE SAID IT ORIGINALLY, HE DOUBLED DOWN IN A
DEBATE, BUT HE'S RELEASED A NEW CAMPAIGN AT AND IT'S A WORK OF
ART.
I'M DON BLANKENSHIP, CANDIDATE FOR SENATE, AND I
APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
POLITICIANS ARE RUNNING A LOT OF
CRAZY ADS, THE BLEW UP THE COAL MINE AND PUT ME IN PRISON, NOW
THEY ARE RUNNING ADS TO SEE THE COAL MINE BLEW UP AND I WENT TO
PRISON.
THERE'S A SURPRISE, BUT IF YOU WANT JOBS AND TO END THE
DRUG EPIDEMIC AND PROTECT THE UNBORN YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR ME.
ONE OF MY GOALS AS U.S. SENATOR WOULD BE TO DITCH COCAINE MITCH.
WHEN YOU VOTE FOR ME YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS.
I'M DON BLANKENSHIP, CANDIDATE FOR THE U.S.
SENATE, AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE.
MITCH MCCONNELL HAS CREATED MILLIONS OF JOBS FOR CHINA
PEOPLE, INFECTIOUS CHINA FAMILY HAS GIVEN HIM TENS OF MILLIONS.
MITCH'S SWAMP PEOPLE ARE NOW RUNNING ADS AGAINST ME, THERE
ALSO CALLING ME DESPICABLE AND MENTALLY ILL.
THE WATER TO DRAIN
THE SWAMP AND CREATE JOBS FOR WEST VIRGINIA PEOPLE HAS BEGUN.
I WOULD MEET JOE MANCHIN AND DITCH COCAINE MITCH FOR THE SAKE
OF THE KIDS.
THEY DON'T DESERVE THAT.
THOSE POOR CHILDREN.
THOSE POOR, INNOCENT CHILDREN.
THEY ARE LIKE DADDY, WHAT'S COCAINE?
I'LL SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE, KID.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT THOSE KIDS ARE NOT RELATED TO
HIM?
AND YOU'RE RIGHT, BROOKE, HE TALKS ABOUT COCAINE MITCH
WHILE HOLDING TWO KIDS.
DON'T TALK ABOUT THE COCAINE WHILE HOLDING THE KIDS.
YOU SAID IT ENOUGH.
HE IS AMAZINGLY GOING TO GET ME TO DO MY FIRST EVER DEFENSIVE
MITCH MCCONNELL.
THERE IS NO ACTUAL CHARGE THAT MITCH
MCCONNELL DOES COCAINE.
LIKE, THEY SAY COCAINE WAS FOUND ON A
SHIP OF HIS FATHER-IN-LAW WHENEVER.
WHAT?
WHAT DOES THAT
HAVE TO DO WITH MITCH MCCONNELL?
ALSO ONE THING COCAINE DOESN'T MAKE YOU DO IS ACT LIKE
MITCH MCCONNELL.
THIS WHOLE TIME IT'S OBVIOUS THAT HE IS TRYING TO REMEMBER
THE ONE SENTENCE THEY GAVE HIM BEFORE THEY CUT.
YOU CAN TELL,
IT'S INTENSE.
THEY SAY I WENT TO PRISON.
LIKE, HE'S TRYING SO HARD.
IT'S LIKE WATCHING SOMEONE REMEMBER DANCE MOVES.
I'VE BEEN THERE.
HIS EYES ARE SO, JUST, DEAD AND LIFELESS THAT I WAS
THINKING, DUDE, YOU NEED TO SMILE.
UNTIL HE DID SMILE, AND
IT WAS WAY CREEPIER.
THEY CUT RIGHT TO IT, WHICH IS WORSE.
HIS FIRST LINE, I'M
DON BLANKENSHIP AND YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME, HE HAD THAT DEAD
LOOK IN HIS EYES OF A GUY WHO IS CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT THE 29
COAL MINERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN HIS MINE.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO GRAPHIC 16, THIS IS A PICTURE OF DON
BLANKENSHIP, YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HIM, YOU JUST SAW HIM,
ACTUALLY THIS IS A GOOD PICTURE OF HIM, HE LOOKED WAY WORSE IN
THE AD.
HERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF DON BLANKENSHIP -- YOU CAN'T
UNSEE IT.
I MEAN, YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT GOD WHO DID THE
AD IS NOT PAUL BEARER?
THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO CLAIM?
I
THOUGHT THAT WAS A 25% CHANCE THE UNDERTAKER WOULD SHOW UP
BEHIND HIM.
ANYWAY, WE ARE BURYING THE LEAD, CHINAPERSON.
AND THE CHINA FAMILY.
I'VE NEVER HEARD CHINA FAMILY, THAT'S A NEW ONE.
HE
WENT OLD SCHOOL AND THE NEW SCHOOL.
BEN AND I TALKED ABOUT
THIS, THE FUNNIEST SLURS -- NOW HOW COULD A SLUR BE FUNNY?
IT'S
BECAUSE IT'S IRONICALLY FUNNY, BECAUSE HOW COULD YOU BE SO
BACKWARD, SO IGNORANT, SO RIDICULOUS, AS TO USE THE WORD
CHINAMAN?
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE USED TO SAY BACK IN THE DAY, AND
BEN AND I FOR YEARS HAVE BEEN MAKING FUN OF THOSE SLURS, LIKE
MOHAMMEDIN.
THAT'S AN OLD SCHOOL ONE.
YOU THINK THAT WON'T SHOW
UP LATER IN THIS CAMPAIGN CYCLE?
ANYWAY, CHINAMAN, I HAVEN'T
HEARD THAT ONE IN DECADES, BUT THANK YOU, TRUMP.
THANK YOU, DON
BLANKENSHIP.
THEY BROUGHT IT BACK.
WE SHOULD HAVE BET ON IT.
BUT INSTEAD HE PUT A TWIST ON IT, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY MORE
MODERN, CHINAPERSON.
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO OFFEND
CHINAWOMEN.
GENDER NON-BINARY.
SOMEONE HELP THEM WITH THIS BUT -- I WANT TO SAY I WANT TO
BE THERE BUT I DON'T.
I ALSO PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED --
WAIT UNTIL THEY GET A LOAD OF ME.
MY WIFE IS CHINESE.
DON'T
EVEN WANT TO KNOW.
ANYWAY, OF COURSE HE FAMOUSLY, I GUESS
FAMOUSLY NOW, IT'S BEEN A COUPLE DAYS, DEFENDED HIMSELF BY SAYING
THAT, WELL, NO, THAT'S NOT A RACIAL SLUR, THERE ARE, QUOTE,
KOREAN PERSONS AND AFRICAN PERSONS.
THAT'S NOT A THING.
I
HAVE LITERALLY NEVER EVER HEARD THE PHRASE KOREAN PERSONS.
IS HE TALKING ABOUT CUISINE?
THERE IS KOREAN CUISINE.
ARE THE KOREAN PEOPLE?
YES.
IS KOREAN PERSONS OR PHRASE?
NO.
NEVER SPOKEN BEFORE DON BLANKENSHIP SAID IT.
I DON'T THINK THAT THE WORD ITSELF IS RACIST, BUT I'M
WILLING TO BET THAT THE PERSON WHO SAYS THAT WORD IS TOTALLY
RACIST.
ALSO, EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE WORD IS RACIST.
LIKE, THE MESSAGE HE WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT IS AWFUL EVEN IF HE
USED THE WORD THAT WAS MORE P.C.
BROOKE MAKES A GREAT POINT, AND THERE IS SOME CHANCE THAT
THERE ARE SOME OLD SCHOOL PEOPLE JUST HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP, WHEN
THEY WERE GROWING UP IN 1945 PEOPLE USED TO SAY CHINAMAN AND
COLORED PERSON, ETC., ONE OF BLANKENSHIP'S DEFENSES WAS IT'S
NOT A RACE LIKE NEGRO -- OH, PLEASE STOP TALKING.
ANYWAY, I
THINK BROOKE IS RIGHT TO POINT OUT THE WORST PART OF THAT,
WHICH IS, WHY IS HE RANDOMLY ATTACKING MITCH MCCONNELL'S WIFE
AND FATHER-IN-LAW FOR BEING CHINESE?
LIKE, THERE IS NO
ALLEGATION THAT THEY DID ANYTHING, ELAINE CHAO IS
ACTUALLY THE TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY FOR TRUMP.
IF HE SAID
THERE IS AN ALLEGATION THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT, THAT WOULD BE MADE UP BUT IT WOULD AT LEAST GIVE
YOU A CHANCE TO MENTION THEIR RACE, HE MENTIONS THE RACE AS
LIKE, GOT 'EM.
WHY IS HE TALKING ABOUT MCCONNELL?
MCCONNELL IS IN A DIFFERENT STATE, BLANKENSHIP IS
RUNNING IN WEST VIRGINIA.
THIS IS GIVING IT TO MUCH CREDIT BY ANALYZING IT AT ALL.
THE IDEA OF USING THE KIND OF TERMS THAT TRUMP USES, WHICH ARE
POPULAR WITH PEOPLE WHOSE VOTES THIS GUY IS TRYING TO SEEK, OR
THINGS LIKE THE SWAMP, GOING AFTER CHINA FOR SCREWING US IN
THE TRADE DEALS WE HAVE MADE WITH THEM, GOING AGAINST, YOU
KNOW, THE SWAMP MONSTERS LIKE MITCH MCCONNELL, GET THEM OUT.
HE'S DEFINITELY TRYING TO APPEAL TO TRUMP-TYPE VOTERS USING
TRUMP-TYPE LANGUAGE, UNFORTUNATELY HE IS GOING
AGAINST SOME THINGS THAT ARE VERY TRUMP.
BUT IF YOU'RE RUNNING IN WEST VIRGINIA, WHERE THE COAL
INDUSTRY IS SMALLER AND SHRINKING BUT IT GETS MORE
ATTENTION THAN PERHAPS IT SHOULD, IT'S CONSIDERED A BIG
THING, YOU HAVE TO GET CREDIT FOR THE GUY WHO'S GOING TO RUN
DESPITE HAVING PRESIDED OVER A HORRIFIC DISASTER IN A MINE BUT
THEN BRINGS IT UP IN HIS AD.
THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT POINT.
THE FAMOUS AD OF CHRISTINE
O'DONNELL IN DELAWARE WHERE SHE STARTS THE AD WITH I'M NOT A
WITCH -- IT'S POLITICS 101 OF WHAT NOT TO DO.
BECAUSE EVERYONE
THEN GOES WHY, ARE YOU A WITCH?
WHY IS THIS A CONVERSATION?
THIS
GUY DID IT TWICE.
THEY ARE SAYING I KILLED 29 PEOPLE IN THE
COAL MINING DISASTER, AND 29 PEOPLE DID DYING IN A COAL
MINING DISASTER I'VE PRESIDED OVER -- WHY DID YOU SAY THAT
TWICE?
WHAT DID YOU SAY THAT?
AND THIS IS NOT A RUDY GIULIANI INTERVIEW WITH SEAN
HANNITY WHERE THERE IS NO PROMPTER, THIS IS AN AD.
THIS IS PRACTICED AND WRITTEN.
SOMEONE HELPED HIM WITH THIS.
BY THE WAY THERE WERE TWO ADS THERE, THE FIRST ONE WAS THE ONE
WHERE HE DOES THE CREEPY SMILE AT THE END, THAT HE GOT IN A LOT
OF TROUBLE FOR SAYING CHINAPERSON, ETC., IN A FOX
DEBATE, THEN HE RUNS A SECOND AD WHERE HE DOUBLES DOWN ON NOT
ONLY DOES HE HAVE A CHINAPERSON AND A CHINA FAMILY --
HE ADDED THE KIDS IN THE SECOND ONE.
THAT WAS HIS
TAKEAWAY, HE NEEDED SOMETHING SOFT.
ALSO AND HE'S MENTIONING THE PEOPLE DIED IN THE COAL MINE,
THE MUSIC YOU THEY CHOOSE -- LIKE A JAUNTY BLUEGRASS DITTY.
NO, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE PAUL BEARER?
ANYWAY, THERE IS AN
EXCELLENT CANDIDATE IN THAT RACE NOT IN THE REPUBLICAN SIDE BUT
THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE, AND NOT JOE MANCHIN, PAULA JEAN SWEARINGEN
IS RUNNING FOR THAT SEAT, WHAT IF WE GOT AN EXCELLENT
PROGRESSIVE INSTEAD OF THESE MONSTERS AND GHOULS AND GOBLINS?
WE WILL PUT HER LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX BELOW, EASY,
JUST CLICK BELOW AND FIND OUT MORE.
PAULA JEAN SWEARINGEN,
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN IN WEST VIRGINIA FOR A LONG TIME,
DAUGHTER OF COAL MINERS, AND FIGHTING FOR THE REAL PEOPLE OF
WEST VIRGINIA.
VOTE FOR SOMEONE YOU COULD ACTUALLY LIVE WITH,
JESUS, THAT DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE YOU THROW UP.
FOR SOMEONE WHO
WILL FIGHT FOR YOU INSTEAD OF GUYS LIKE THIS.
THEY ONLY HAVE LIKE FOUR DAYS BY THE WAY.
NEXT TUESDAY WE ARE COVERING PRIMARIES.
GIANT PRIMARIES NEXT
TUESDAY, MAKE SURE YOU TUNE IN HERE.
THE SHOW IS NORMALLY SIX
TO EIGHT PM EASTERN, IT WILL BE THAT DAY AS WELL, BUT AFTER THE
SHOW ELECTION COVERAGE, PRIMARIES, THREE BIG ONES COMING
UP.
A TON OF STATES ARE VOTING, DON'T MISS IT, HIGH DRAMA AND
ALL OF THESE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF BLANKENSHIP WINS THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARY?
RIGHT NOW HE IS IN THIRD.
BUT WITH ADS LIKE THESE --
LOOK, IF THIS WORKS, I DESPAIR OF HUMANITY.
THIS WOULD
BE A BACKBREAKING ELECTION.
IF BLANKENSHIP WINS AFTER RUNNING
THESE ADS -- BECAUSE HE WAS TRAILING, IF THESE ADS PROPEL
HIM TO NUMBER ONE, UGH.
