An ethics lawyer for George W. Bush is running for Senate in the blue state of Minnesota – as a Democrat: talk about a dumpster fire.
Richard Painter, who diligently served Republicans before going all Benedict Arnold has put out possibly the most awkward – and unintentionally hilarious – campaign ad in history. (Daily Wire)
In the ad, Richard Painter, who spent two years as President George W. Bush’s chief ethics lawyer before switching parties, stands before an actual fire in a dumpster. Painter, deadpan and often grimacing through the painful script, says he’s running for office to extinguish the “dumpster” fire raging in Washington, D.C. (Forget that fires don’t often rage in swamps, Painter’s off with his metaphor.)
“Some people see a dumpster fire and do nothing but watch the spectacle,” he says, squinting into the camera. “Some are too scared to face the danger, or they think it will benefit them if they just let it keep on burning.’
“Others shrug,” he says (cue candidate to raise shoulders) “and say, ‘All this talk about dumpster fires, it’s just fake news!’
Big finish: “There is an inferno raging in Washington. But here in the land of 10,000 lakes [cue awkward emphatic arm gesture as water is dumped on the dumpster], we know how to put out a fire.”
There are some things you have to see to believe.
