Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker released a campaign video Wednesday which features him wearing a noose, in an attempt to highlight Senator Rand Paul's opposition to a 2020 bill that would have made lynching a federal hate crime.
The video, which starts with a graphic warning, opens with a shot of a noose hanging from a tree.
"The pain of our past persists to this day," Booker, who is Black, says in the opening lines. "In Kentucky, like many states throughout the South, lynching was a tool for terror. It was used to kill hopes for freedom."

Excellent. The Demonrats are already self-noosing. That’ll make it easier after the new Nuremberg Trials.

Less than 2,000 lynched in the Jim Crow Era by Democrats versus over 70,000 hanged during the 38 year reign of Henry VIII.

Lynching is already illegal, does it need to be double illegal?
Lynching are pretty dang rare nowadays, has there been a sudden outbreak of them? If so I haven’t seen news of it.
Demented, sick manipulation by democrats.

BS. Not buying it anymore. There is not a single law in this country that discriminates against black people. Only white people.

Interesting thing, the only people with nooses are black. And hoods? The only ones, I know of are the hoods where the black folks live. I ain't going into robes.

He said three of his uncles were lynched. All of his uncles were born around 1960 and later. He’s a liar.
To: Apparatchik
Booker is hoping he can ride the racism bandwagon to victory...
A 3rd rate huckster.
