 I'm not sure how many of you have heard of Josh Mandel. We talked about him on the program before He's running against Morgan Harper now. She's currently competing in a Democratic Party primary with Tim Ryan But he made headlines Because he was extremely rude in a debate that he had a one-on-one debate that he had with Morgan Harper And he said that she was dumber than AOC and then when he said that he was booed by the crowd Rightfully so because he was being incredibly rude and then the next day After he got booed he went on Fox News and cried about how the crowd was racist because they booed him But they didn't boo you because they're racist because you're white they booed you because you were being a jerk So he just released an ad where he takes aim at critical race theory And I've seen the ad and I had to share it with you all because it is Bonkers and I'm just gonna give you a forewarning. I will be pausing this quite a bit here But we we have to we have to check this out. By the way, I believe comments are disabled here Yeah, comments are turned off. You can't see it, but comments are turned off So that's always a good sign that you're confident in your message when you turn off comments But nonetheless, let's watch his ad critical race theory is crap So that's how the ad starts. I don't know who this lady is Regina McManus, why do we just have like some random person saying critical race theory is crap? Who are you lady? Maybe I'll Google her real real quick because I don't know who this is. So Regina McManus It's so weird. You might as well start the ad with pineapple belongs on pizza or doesn't belong on pizza I just don't understand So I don't even there's like multiple Regina McManus's that are popping up and I feel like Is this the person a Girl should be three things something sassy and a Republican false a girl should not be a Republican Like is this literally just a random person? It kind of looks like that person who is Regina McManus Why would you just put this random person in your ad? That's so strange to me But you know, we're just like one second in and I already have a lot of questions But let's continue. We'll start it over since I Is crap Martin Luther King your crap here So skin color wouldn't matter. I didn't do two tours in Ambar province fighting alongside now I'm gonna pause it right here for a second does anyone Notice anything strange With this particular image now, I'm gonna play it and then We'll understand why he's showing you this image Means of every color to come home and be called a racist So he's showing a picture with him and black people just to prove that he's not racist That's so Strange see I'm not racist. Here's a picture of me with black people and I didn't even say anything racist to them We got along perfectly Do you want a cookie? Congratulations. Great What's the point of this now? If you notice his head It's a completely different color than his hands So when I first saw this I literally Like I saw a face to genuinely because I thought no he did not Please do not tell me he photoshopped his white face on a picture of a black man Did he do that? Because if you look at this It looks like he did that does it not So I'm sitting here thinking He's he's shameless. I mean if anyone would do this it would be Josh Mandel, right? but but Turns out it's fake news Snopes actually did a fact check about this did Mandel forget to photoshop his hands in a campaign ad because you'd think okay If you're gonna photoshop your head onto somebody else's body Wouldn't you make sure you get the hands? But they say false now I Was in disbelief when I saw this, you know I was feeling a little bit of cognitive dissonance because I thought there's very clearly two different colors here like Something is going on. It's it's a bad photoshop. It's something right but When you take a look at the original image where they did not apply the filter for this ad It does look more natural right so the filter that they applied looked to be like a filter that darkened it I don't know specifically what filter it was but you can see That this filter makes the lower portion of the image Darker right so I'm not sure if it's like a vignette or something like that But his hands are absolutely darker here than they are in the original photo So it definitely I'm gonna have to say it's fake news But the thought that he would do something like that I wouldn't put it past him but in this instance He is innocent doesn't take away from the stupidity of this ad But the fact that so many people are thinking that he photoshopped his head onto somebody else's body is Hilarious I Love this. It's not true. Unfortunately, but the ad is still dumb. So let's let's finish the ad here. I Didn't do two tours in Anbar province fighting alongside Marines of every color to come home These are literally like these two pictures right here by the way I'm probably like the only pictures that he's ever taken with black people. That's why he put them in Otherwise if there were more pictures, he would have put them all in here. I just it's so weird I'm not racist. Look. It's so straight like stop doing this. You all have to stop doing this. It's so weird I'd Marines of every color to come home and be called a racist There's nothing racist about stopping just how one of his eyes are smaller than the other I've just got to point out like they do the same thing with LGBTQ plus people too. Well, look on my cousin is gay I know someone who's gay But like how would you do that like what's the photo equivalent because you can like I guess Disprove your racism by showing yourself in a picture with somebody who's black But how do you do that with someone who's gay or they'd be like Like posing like in more of like an effeminate way like I don't know how you would recreate this But you know that this would be his whole defense to why served with gay people. I served with trans people I served with women like this is just gonna be his thing, right? It's so weird, but I'm not racist. I have a black friend is still a thing that we see consistently It's so strange. And first of all, this is his ad. Why is he bringing this up? Nobody asked who's calling you a racist dude. So you just put this front and center. I'm not racist Okay, this is your ad you can say anything you want to but you choose to say I'm not racist Why are you so defensive who you trying to convince us or yourself? I mean this dude is fucking Unhinged he is insane. Yeah, some of his best friends are black. Yeah, Josh I don't know how old he is. He looks like he's probably like an older millennial No millennial has any friends black or white. You have no friends. You're lonely. All of us are lonely We're living in our our fucking small apartments with no friends. We're just doom-scrolling on Twitter You have no friend shut the fuck up to come home and be called a racist There's nothing racist about stopping critical race that you can't get over how one of his eyes is smaller than the other like the Sun has to be in his eyes and Loving America Josh Mandel pro god pro gun. See this is a picture of him and his husband. I'm assuming This imagined making this your slogan pro god pro gun pro Trump and then I don't know if this was the only time he met Donald Trump, but you picked the doofus fucking picture of you. I mean look at this motherfucker. Look at that face. I Absolutely would not Choose this photograph if I were him at least his eyes are the same size there But like this is the picture with your thumbs up What a fucking dweeb, holy shit, I want to push him into a fucking locker That's the that's the feeling that I get like I have this urge. It's inexplicable. I just want to shove him into a lot Locker and call him a fucking nerd. What a dweeb pro god pro gun pro Trump. What does that even mean? What's the policy implications of being pro god pro gun pro Trump? So you're against regulations with regard to firearms. You are pro god So what you want a theocracy want to? Subvert the Constitution's you know a separation between church and state. I don't know what that means pro Trump. What does that mean? I mean you support his policies. Which one's in particular does Trump even know what policy supports What does this mean like this is a terrible slogan? He's very clearly just pandering like he started the ad with some random woman saying critical race theory sucks And then he says I'm not racist and then he goes to I'm pro Trump Dude you have no substance what policies are you running on what laws? Would you introduce and co-sponsor if you were elected to Congress? What exactly are you running for Congress? I just I feel like there's got to be more here, right? But this is it. He's probably more substantive than 90% of Republicans running for Congress, which is sad, right? Josh Mandel and I approve this message you want to fight her send in the Marine. Oh That one was cringe-worthy pro gun Pro god pro Trump. It just makes you look like a simpleton. I'm sorry and to go back to the beginning of this ad Critical race theory is crap. Fuck you Regina. Nobody cares about your opinion. Who are you? Who are you? So here's this random woman. He's like, hey, can you do me a favor lady on the street? Can you come over here and say critical race theory is crap and the most Karen voice imaginable? I Just don't this is such a stupid ad and I I'm so sad that this is Not what it looked like at first. I'm so sad that he didn't photoshop his head on somebody else's body because that would have been absolutely fucking hilarious, but You know, we'll we'll have to settle Josh Mandel folks probably not the dumbest Republican if he were to be elected, but just I think indicative of The rest of the Republican Party just stupid Free of substance never talks about policy and is very very defensive about whether or not they're racist. Okay. Cool
