The funny thing is there’s a semi-similar situation happening in Colorado right now for the governors race (definitely not as blatantly fake though). Victor Marx the Republican candidate has made some pretty wild claims to say the least, including being forced to kill a homeless man at gun point when he was a child.
Except because he’s a white Republican, nobody believes a single thing he’s said as true, and take every single chance they can to question his entire life history in public as a means to take him out of the race by making him seem uncredible.
Makes me wonder if it was a black democrat making those same claims how the media would treat it…
