Republican running for Elijah Cummings's seat goes viral with Black Lives Matter ad

An ad for a Republican running for the late Rep. Elijah Cummings’s (D-Md.) Congressional seat went viral, with the candidate pushing a message that “All Black Lives Matter.”

The GOP candidate, Kimberly Klacik, who is Black, argues in the digital ad that Democrats have failed the people of Baltimore after more than 50 years as she is seen walking through part of the city.

“Baltimore has been run by the Democrat party for 53 years. What is the result of their decades of leadership?” Klacik asks in the ad.

Answering the question she posed, Klacick says the city is in the “top five most dangerous cities in America,” has “skyrocketing” homicide, drug and alcohol deaths and a poverty rate over 20 percent.

“Do you believe Black Lives Matter? I do,” she states, repeating the call from progressive demonstrators.

I watched the ad. It is impressive. The candidate is too. Will she get traction? Not likely but at least Republicans are fighting for the black vote.

I can’t vote for her because I’m a Texas citizen. But I really hope she wins!

Trump should play this ad nationally.

And bring her to the convention.

Plus she’s HOT (unlike liberal women)

A buddy just posted this on Facebook. I just watched it about 15 minutes ago.
It is a very effective ad.
I do not live there and can not vote for her.
However, I would if I could.

I may just donate to her campaign. It would be a better use of my money than donating to any of the Pubbies running in NH.

I don’t remember which movie it was when I was a kid, but it’s stuck with me a very long time. You can tell a working man by shaking their hand, and how seriously they take their job by looking at their shoes.

It’s a fantastic message, the kind of hard hitting clear choice that I’ve been advocating for a long time. But I was ready to scream at the video at the third close up of her stiletto shoes walking down those crumbling streets and sidewalks.

Boom.

How can the Donkeys even argue against what she said. 53 years of Democrat rule. One of the 5 most dangerous cities in America. The streets she was walking down looked like they belonged in some dystopian science fiction movie. Failing schools, high crime, high poverty. This is what voting Democrat has delivered.

Time to try something else.

Absolutely.

This ad and the facts she highlights are just devastating.

These kinds of people would be awesome to have in Congress...unfortunately so many of them run in districts where they cannot get elected as Republicans.
