Okay this just gets funnier and funnier:
"Not only has the [Fund] faced intense scrutiny in light of the Manhattan attack, but the ad may have in fact mobilized the Republican base in Virginia in a way even the Gillespie campaign couldn’t have done on its own. One CNN journalist reported on Tuesday night that donations to Gillespie tripled over the last two days, after the ad aired.
In one anecdote, a PR strategist reported that a contractor working on his house was incensed by the ad, saying, “I drive a truck. I wear a hat. I’m voting for Gillespie. My foreman and whole crew are Hispanic. I know their kids. I buy them gifts. But wow, I know what the Democrats think of me now.”
This is a blue state, but it will be funny if Gillespie wins.
