Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has long been a worshipful acolyte of accused Rapist-in-Chief Donald Trump, and her latest campaign ad looks like something the so-called “president” might have created during his three White House runs.
Blackburn is running to be the next governor of the Volunteer State, and she’s hoping to appear tough to voters by suggesting that she will “hunt down” anyone from China that she doesn’t like.
In the ad, which was released on Wednesday, Blackburn is seen sitting in a Chinese restaurant with a bowl of fortune cookies in front of her.
“How hard am I gonna crack down on China? Well, here’s a clue!” Blackburn declares.
After a voiceover that announces Blackburn will block Chinese companies from acquiring land in Tennessee and “hunt down every communist who tries to defy us,” the senator smashes the fortune cookies into tiny pieces.
The ad ends with Blackburn saying, “It doesn’t take a fortune cookie to figure it out – here in Tennessee, we’re going to stop communist China and protect Tennessee land.”
Wow! Talk about cringe! That could well qualify as one of the most moronic campaign ads ever released. And Blackburn was righteously slammed online for it.
Smashing a product invented in America, mass produced by a machine invented in America, based off a Japanese treat sends a strong message to China… Good job,” @TheOnlyDave wrote.
“It doesn’t take a fortune cookie to know that Blackburn is selling this country for political power,” @donnagv7 noted
“Cannot believe this is an actual ad. This looks like an SNL skit,” @ThePatriotOasis remarked.
@sunfispostoing: “Hi Marsha, one of the most impressive political ads I’ve seen! It’s incredible to put out something so bafflingly stupid and incoherent when the bar was already so, so low. Kudos to you and the team for cooking up this abomination, and for proving things can always get worse!”
Here’s hoping Marsha Blackburn loses badly in November. Oh, and let’s also hope she’s denied entry into every Chinese restaurant in the country.
