    GOP Rep. Steve Knight has a TV ad featuring a veteran praising the congressman. That veteran “has posted dozens of racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim comments on Facebook”https://lat.ms/2QcVQ6L

        They are who we think they are. I just wish they'd be a little more creative in how they look, because goddamnit do they have a habit of confirming my stereotypes. I mean, just look at that methbilly.

        Matt Rexroad, Knight’s campaign strategist, said Wednesday there was no reason to vet Brayton’s social media postings before putting him in a TV commercial.... great job

        Always double-check on who you put behind the camera. Even if Knight's intentions were innocent, you're judged by the company you keep. That guy is bad company.

        The Republicans are actively and intentionally courting this specific type of voter.

        Maybe he’s not a racist but he sure seems worried more that racists will think he’s not, than he is that everyone else will think he is.

        What sort of "combat" was this "veteran" in? Because in the real U.S. military, working/fighting alongside of African-Americans, Muslims, and Jews every day tends to make one not a complete asshole towards your fellow countrymen.

        On a Vietnam vets FB page this morning there was a pic if an unusual Huey, armed with a 20mm gatling (most common was an M60, sometimes a minigun, rarely even a .50 caliber). Five fellow vets commented it should be sent to the border. I was sickened in my stomach, and my heart.

        @SteveKnight25 did you mean you work for potential domestic terrorist, racists every day? We’re you aware of this man’s background? Of course not, right? At least, that’s what you’ll say. And if not, is your staff incompetent?

        I’ve come to realize why this won’t hurt him. The voters (almost half of Americans, apparently) LIKE it! #RacistGOP
