Scandal As Newsom Campaign Produces Old Yearbook Photo Showing Larry Elder In Blackface

SACRAMENTO, CA—Larry Elder's campaign for governor of California was thrown into turmoil today after Gavin Newsom's anti-recall campaign produced never-before-seen yearbook photos showing Larry Elder wearing blackface.

"This is beyond the pale," said French Chef Pierre D’issoir, who is running Newsom's campaign. "Not only is Larry Elder totally a white supremacist, but we now have proof that he wore blackface as a young man in college! Absolument honteux!"

Newsom will be spending $12 million in predominately black areas of Southern California to remind black voters that Elder is a fake black person—and that pasty white millionaire, winery owner, and French cuisine connoisseur Gavin Newsom is a better choice for the black community than Larry Elder.

"Sometimes we need to spend millions of dollars to remind minorities what's best for them," said Newsom. "Right now, what's best for them is being locked in their homes and given forced vaccinations. Larry Elder will try to come in and offer to lower their taxes, give them jobs, and heal their communities, but the thing that really matters here is that he wore blackface."

The scandal deepened later that afternoon when Larry Elder made an appearance, still wearing blackface.

I don’t see how they can come up with satire that actually beats out reality these days.

I doubt it was me but i sent them this joke weeks ago. I added, “Unlike his democratic opponents he refused to apologize for appearing in black face.” Funny stuff.

“The scandal deepened later that afternoon when Larry Elder made an appearance, still wearing blackface.”

Say what we will about Elder, but at least he doesn’t deny or try to run away from controversy. He believes in campaigning in blackface, and no one is going to make him do differently, regardless of the attacks that may bring on his character.

Elder should open a campaign speech with a quip about this.

“My opponents supporters have been making claims that I once wore black face in college. I want you all to hear it from me before you see the pictures on the news. I did! And I still am.”

Just to be clear, the way to deal with the Woke is to openly mock and ridicule them. At. Every. Opportunity.

Whatever they don’t like do more of it. When they tell you they’re offended just smile warmly and say “And you’re welcome!”

Indeed!

It’s like all the comedy and satire of the past was brought to mind and the current Left collectively said “Hold my beer!”
