Challenger To Lauren Boebert Masterfully (And Grossly) Trolls Her For The Sh*tstorm She’s Created

Though the vast majority of those who are currently reading this have never heard of Alex Walker, there’s an excellent chance you’ll never forget this name once you see the campaign ad he’s running in Colorado to be the Democratic nominee who faces incumbent Republican congresswoman Lauren Boebert in November.

The video, which has quickly gone viral, The Daily Beast reports, is one of the best examples of edgy political advertising ever attempted by any candidate:

Political newcomer Alex Walker, the latest Democratic challenger to toss his hat into the ring to unseat MAGA-boosting Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), announced his presence with perhaps the most nauseating campaign ad ever. The two-minute online video that debuted Tuesday starts with a woman getting crushed by a giant pile of feces, followed by other townsfolk trying to avoid a literal storm of shit.

Yes, you read that correctly: A shitstorm. And it’s just as disgusting as you’d expect, but it’s also brilliant and hilarious, and it’s likely to make Alex Walker a household name in the Centennial State, especially when he promises to eliminate her “bullshit” if he’s elected:

Eventually, Walker emerges and picks up a soiled teddy bear before announcing he has joined a crowded race to defeat the mudslinging congresswoman. “We are real Coloradans. We deserve a living wage, small government that actually works, and freedom of choice,” he says. “Instead, we have bullshit.”

The tagline for Walker’s ad is also sure to resonate with voters:

“Colorado needs a bull, not a bullshitter. I’m Alex Walker and I approve the shit out of this message!”

For anyone who has forgotten, here’s some of the bullshit that Boebert has been spewing since she took office:

“The Constitution is not evolving,” she wrote on Twitter. “To say that spits in the face of every single one of our founders.”

Shit! The woman is crazy. She needs to be replaced ASAP.

Arizona GOP Senate Candidate Shoots At Lookalikes Of Biden And Pelosi In ‘Disgusting’ Ad

A Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has released a Super Bowl ad that shows him in an armed showdown with President Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), whose wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was shot and seriously wounded by a gunman in 2011.

The Hill reports:

Arizona Senate candidate Jim Lamon’s campaign released a Super Bowl ad on Thursday depicting him in an armed “showdown” with Democratic leaders including incumbent Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D). 

The 30-second ad features actors depicting Kelly, President Biden, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

“The good people of Arizona have had enough of you. It’s time for a showdown,” Lamon, who plays himself in the ad, says. 

The Democratic figures then draw their weapons and Lamon shoots at them, prompting them to run away.

Blake Masters and Michael McGuire, who are Lamon’s rivals for the GOP nomination, blasted him for his sick ad, with Masters calling it “absurd and desperate. Fits his campaign.”

McGuire noted:

“Real violence and use of deadly force is no laughing matter. Violence in America is real and it isn’t funny. This ad shows poor judgment and isn’t reflective of the values of the Second Amendment. This ad will do more to boost Mark Kelly’s fundraising than help Republicans.”

Shannon Watts, founder of the gun control group Moms Demand Action, weighed in on Twitter:

Rather than apologize, Lamon doubled down:

Lamon has almost no chance of winning the GOP nomination, and even he were to get the nod, isn’t seen as a serious contender to Kelly.

Trump’s Handpicked Georgia Senate Candidate Accused Of Having A ‘Porn Addiction’

According to failed former President Donald Trump, the perfect person to be the GOP nominee for the Senate in the state of Georgia is former NFL star Herschel Walker, so he has given his full endorsement to the ex-football player, commenting in September:

“Herschel Walker will never let you down. He was a great football player and will be an even better U.S. Senator—if that is even possible. He has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

Considering Trump’s propensity for being sexually promiscuous, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Walker is being accused of having an addiction to porn, according to one of his Republican primary opponents.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

“A review of Senate candidate Herschel Walker’s Instagram account shows he follows several accounts with links to racy material. One of the accounts has a name not suitable for a family newsletter. Several others also have accounts on OnlyFans, a social media platform popular with porn stars.”

Asked for comment, Walker’s campaign manager, Scott Paradise, called the accusation “stupid,” and added:

“He follows or is followed by tens of thousands of people.”

That explanation, however, didn’t satisfy Walker’s GOP rival, Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, who wondered if perhaps Walker has an addiction to porn, with a spokesperson for Black’s campaign noting:

“Stalking, and domestic abuse are disqualifying by themselves but a porn addiction would be a significant third strike. That’s just handing the Senate to the Democrats. While personally sad, it’s definitely conduct unbecoming of a candidate for elected office.”

If Walker does win the Republican nomination, he would face incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D).

Ohio Redistricting May Wind Up Costing Jim Jordan His Congressional Seat

Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) dream of another term in the House of Representatives is in serious jeopardy based on a redistricting map that has been submitted which would all but guarantee that the controversial congressman will lose in the 2022 midterm elections.

That map, according to Fox News, has set of howls of protest from supporters and allies of Jordan:

The Buckeye State’s Senate Republican Party proposed a redistricting map last week that turned heads and drew ire from Jordan’s allies.

According to the proposed map, Jordan could be billed up against Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio for the 4th Congressional District’s seat.

According to Kevin Eichinger, a spokesperson for Jordan, the motive of the Ohio GOP is clear: To assure the incumbent cannot possibly win reelection:

“John Boehner tried to draw Mr. Jordan out 10 years ago. It didn’t work then. It won’t work now. Mr. Jordan is running for reelection.”

If that’s the case, then why even bother to comment on the matter? Sounds like the real fear within the Jordan camp is having to run against a black woman in a new district that would have an even greater number of African-American voters. Jordan, as you might expect, has never been popular in the black community.

Earlier this year, Democrat Jeffrey Sites announced he would be running against Jordan next year. Sites has done well with fundraising and also has an active presence on social media.

The new map does indeed change the makeup of the district Jordan currently represents:

Of course, no one is more to blame for possibly costing Jordan another term in office than he is. His confrontational style and fanatical worship of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump haven’t exactly endeared him to many in his district.

Additionally, Jordan’s inconsistent statements on the issue of sexual assault that took place inside the Ohio State University men’s wrestling program while he was an assistant coach on the team has also cost him support.

Former wrestlers allege Jordan knew some of the students on the team were being molested and raped by the team doctor, Richard Strauss. Jordan never reported any such abuse to the university.

Lauren Boebert Terrifies Her Fellow Republicans By Calling For An End To All Federal Benefits

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) may have cost Republicans any chance of winning the 2022 midterm elections, and she did it by saying out loud what many in the GOP have been dreaming about for decades.

Boebert decided she wanted to make a point about the federal government offering to help Americans, so she went full-tilt and said conservatives want to eliminate all federal benefits, telling attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC):

“We’re here to tell government: ‘We don’t want your benefits. We don’t want your welfare. Don’t come to us with your Fauci ouchie. Leave us the hell alone!'”

The very idea of cutting Medicare and Social Security is considered to be the the proverbial “third rail” of American politics and has consistently proven to be political poison, especially for Republicans.

It’s especially ironic that Boebert would rail against welfare since she loves to brag that she was helped by federal and state programs:

Now that she’s getting her salary and benefits courtesy of American taxpayers, however, Ms. Boebert wants to leave the neediest among us high and dry. In other words, she’s a typical conservative: A hypocrite.

HuffPost notes that in recent years Republicans have chosen to shower the rich and big corporations with corporate welfare:

“Boebert’s party has no problem cranking up benefits for the wealthy. Under the Trump administration’s tax cut — pitched as a boon to the middle class — 60% of the benefits went to the richest 20% of Americans, with the largest cuts as a share of income going to the top 5%. Corporate taxes were slashed 40%. 

“As for the Paycheck Protection Program during Donald Trump’s administration, most of the aid went to bigger companies, with just 5% of recipients scarfing up more than half of the $525 billion that went out the door.”

Boebert’s remarks were met with harsh reaction on social media:

Let’s see if Lauren Boebert actually believes the bullshit she peddles. Let’s see her return her congressional salary and benefits to the U.S. Treasury. Willing to put your money where your big mouth is, Lauren?
