Black Democrat Running to be Senator From Kentucky Wears Noose Around Neck to Accuse Rand Paul of Supporting Lynching

Remember, we have to monitor and deplatform conservatives for engaging in incendiary rhetoric.

Democrats, however, can use the most dangerously-provocative, race-warring, assassin-inspiring language and imagery they want. If it can inspire just one low-propensity Democrat voter to go to the polls, or one Democrat ballot-harvester to cheat for a Democrat, then it's all worth it.

In a provocative and controversial push, the Democratic Senate nominee who's challenging Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky in November's midterm election wears a noose in a new ad criticizing Paul's past opposition to a measure to make lynching a federal hate crime.

But the spot, by former state lawmaker Charles Booker, makes no mention that Paul later supported an updated anti-lynching bill that is now law.

...

Taking aim at Paul, a former Republican presidential candidate who's running this year for a third six-year term representing Kentucky in the Senate, Booker argues that the senator is "the person who single-handedly blocked an anti-lynching act from being federal law."

Paul in 2020 held up legislation that would have made lynching a federal hate crime, saying at the time he was worried it could be applied too broadly. But the senator went on to co-sponsor the Emmett Till Anti-lynching Act, which was authored by Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Cory Booker, D-N.J. The bill passed the Senate three months ago and is now federal law.

...

"In the end, I think the compromise language will hopefully keep us from incarcerating somebody for some kind of crime that's not lynching," Paul said in March in an interview with the Louisville Courier. "We just wanted to make sure that the punishment was proportional to the crime, and I guess it's just good news that it finally worked out."

...

In his spot, which contains a viewer discretion advisory, Booker charges that "the choice couldn't be clearer. Do we move forward together or do we let politicians like Rand Paul forever hold us back and drive us apart? In November, we will choose healing. We will choose Kentucky."

Oh, Paul is the one dividing us, huh?

Let it be noted that Rand Paul was attacked by his lunatic neighbor in a surprise attack that required part of his lung to be surgically removed, and that various Democrat office-holders and media partisans have since cheered the beating and urged further beatings.

And now this m0therfvcker is accusing him of being a lyncher.
