Dems unveil ‘Dark Brandon' student loan ad ahead of midterms: 'Cringe'
Fox Business ^ | October 20, 2022 | Anders Hagstrim

A Democratic political group unveiled a new ad seeking to pump young voters by highlighting President Biden's student debt forgiveness program, but audiences are mocking it.

The group, Build Back Together, is using the ad in a "six-figure" campaign. It kicks off with a clip of MSNBC host Shepard Smith stating that the White House is "kicking off its efforts to forgive student loan debt." The screen then appears to glitch, with Smith repeating the word "debt" over and over before a beat kicks in and memes start spraying across the scene.

"NEW AD: Dark Brandon strikes again!" read a tweet from the organization announcing the ad.

"Biden just delivered historic student debt relief, putting [bag of cash emoji] back in the pockets of borrowers across the country and completely erasing student debt for 1 in 4 Black borrowers and nearly half of Latino borrowers," the group wrote.

The clip shows Biden with laser beam eyes before flashing "StudentAid.Gov" on the screen.

"Millions of Americans making less than $125,000 a year will be able to get much-needed relief through this simple online form, which takes less than five minutes to fill out," Building Back Together Executive Director Danielle Melfi said in a statement.

"This is a game changer for so many young Americans, who will now have more money in their pockets to start a family, open a business, or buy a house. This campaign celebrates this win for working families and thanks the president for his commitment to getting it done," she added.

Internet audiences quickly mocked the 30-second clip, however.

Journalist Dave Weigel said of the ad: "Feel the cringe, let it wash over you."

"I'll take boomer rapping grandma ads over whatever this is," wrote Town Hall's Kevin McMahon.

Notice how only the “indoctrinated” get paid in taxpayer dollars. Wonder why that is?

Thank the Lord our enemies are stupid people. They’re destructive enough as the imbeciles they are. The notion that this ad is actually going to win any votes is mind boggling

How cool is that? They are going to pay my mortgage off, my car loan off, my insurance, my property taxes and my grocery bill! What a great country!

That’s one of the worst political ads in a long time. Yes, the left can’t meme.

So the average minority student has less than $10,000 in college loan debt? How to say POC can’t finish college without telling me POC can’t finish college.

(”Millions of Americans making less than $125,000 a year will be able to get much-needed relief”)

That is sooooooo awesome.

Where’s my free $20,000 from Joe?

Every taxpayer should be asking that question.

Watched the video. You should, too.

It will confuse the stoners and amuse the rest of you.

The guy is already known to be a child molester. You can’t get any darker than that.

Watching Fetterman ads are like that. I could swear the RNC created them.

Remember that fat dumbass OCommie voter who smilingly told the camera that OCommie was going to pay her mortgage, health insurance and a host of other of her bills?
