RICHMOND — Former president Barack Obama took the unusual step of criticizing and mocking Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate for a controversial ad blitz highlighting Latino gang violence.
As he rallied for the Democratic candidate Ralph Northam on Thursday night, Obama mentioned that he and his wife, Michelle Obama, have seen Republican Ed Gillespie’s commercials airing on television in their D.C. home.
The spots say Northam is “weak on MS-13” as images of tattooed Latino men and the gang motto “Kill, Rape, Control” pop up on the screen.

As cynical as promising a mythical $2,500 in insurance savings?

More cynical; “if you like your plan, you can keep it”, KNOWING that you’re about to revoke the health insurance of millions upon millions of americans.
To: Republican Wildcat
RACIST!
When an orator speaks as well as Obama is capable of speaking, sinks to ghetto affectation in his speech to get out the black vote, THAT is RACIST!

Only possible explanation. Ed is now pulling ahead, and the dems polling probably tells them these ads are one of the main culprits. It is about time a GOP candidate rolled up his/her sleeves and ran some brutal ads. The truth can be blunt and painful.

Yeah Buraq Hussein Obama, you lied about keeping my insurance plan. Then you lied about keeping my doctor. And again, you lied about saving $2500 every year. Actually my health insurance went up by $2400/year! Buraq Hussein Obama is the biggest con man ever elected president.
That Gillespie Ad must be effective to bring Hussein out of the woodwork.

The dirty little secret here is that the American political scene has become remarkably simple. Illegal immigration and corporate globalism are the two issues that will resonate with American voters like no other. Seeing Yeb Bush lose so badly in the GOP race last year after starting the primary season as the Republican front-runner should have been a wakeup call for everyone in politics.
