Rep. French Hill (R-AR) disavowed a radio ad produced in support of his campaign by a group called Black Americans for the President’s Agenda, during which two women discuss how they plan to support French and the Republicans to prevent white Democrats from “lynching black folks” based on sexual assault allegations.

  1. Remember when President Obama ran the same kind of ad?

    Me neither…

    Edit: Congresscritter French amended his disavowal to read:

    I disavow this appalling ad, unless it provides a bump in the appalling poll numbers I’m looking at.

  2. The better analogy would be any fringe Democratic or liberal group running a similar ad. If any did, I can’t think of it.

  3. I disavow! But hey, since it’s out there why not have a listen and vote for me this November? It’s appalling! Unless you believe what they’re saying.

  4. Avatar for tena tena says:

    You, sir, are appalling. Your party is appalling. Your party’s treason is appalling. I could go on but just suffice it to say that every single thing about the GOP is appalling.
