Don’t Be Like He-Man
This is the ad:
A right-wing political action committee that supports a Republican incumbent in Arkansas has released radio advertisements so vile that the incumbent himself has denounced them.
The ads are produced by a PAC called Black Americans for the President’s Agenda and are meant to support Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.), who is running for re-election in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District.
In the ads, which aired in predominantly black areas of Arkansas, several people speak about abortion and the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh before concluding that a victory for Hill’s Democratic rival will lead to “race verdicts, life sentences and lynchings.”
“Our congressman, French Hill, and the Republicans know that it’s dangerous to change the presumption of innocence to the presumption of guilt, especially for black men,” a woman says in one of the ads.
“If the Democrats can do that to a white Justice of the Supreme Court ... what will happen to our husbands, our fathers or our sons when a white girl lies on them?” she asks.
“Girl, white Democrats will be lynching black folk again,” another woman replies.
“We can’t afford to let white Democrats take us back to the bad old days of race verdicts, life sentences and lynchings when a white girl screams rape.”

It's true the presumption of innocence is important and all that, but let's not act like a black man accused of rape by a white woman is going to have a ton of white republican support.
You must think a PAC is a Principles Actions Committee.
Sounding like Diamond and Silk.
