GOP rep releases campaign ad ripping Kaepernick, 'The Squad'

Alabama Senate candidate Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) has released a new campaign advertisement targeting the progressive congresswomen in "the squad" as well as former NFL quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick.

Byrne discusses his late brother Dale in the ad, who died in 2013 from a respiratory illness Byrne's campaign said was contracted during military service and deployments to Iraq, Al.com reported.

"When the towers fell, I knew my brother would be going to war," Byrne said in the ad. "Dale was a true patriot. I can't bring him back. I miss him every day."

Byrne goes on to accuse Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) of "cheapening" the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Wow. Where do I begin with this dumbshit?

Sorry for the loss of your brother but most people with a functioning brain know that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Furthermore Kaepernick is not a politician and the squad are not your election opponents. But hey nothing like some good old southern racism to stir things up.

so they have to make do with all they have left -- racism, both overt and dog-whistled.

I'm sure if this race-baiter even goes to church, he kneels out of respect. Of course, when you're up all night burning crosses, you oversleep and instead are dreaming of blowing up churches with little black girls in them.

Typical Republican scum.
