Former Republican candidate for US Senate and president, Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship has registered as a Democrat for the upcoming US Senate race.
He has the oddest claim in several of his recent campaign ads. It's virtually the weirdest campaign motto in recent history or perhaps ever.
Here’s a transcript for one of his most recent tv ads:
Quote:
BLANKENSHIP: Hi, I’m Don Blankenship, candidate for the United States Senate, and I paid for this ad.
GRAVELLY-VOICED NARRATOR: Don Blankenship will tell you the honest truth.
CLIP OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: Don Blankenship . . . he’s the most honest CEO in America.
GRAVELLY-VOICED NARRATOR: Unfortunately, our government is not honest. Even the truth about the murders of Mr. Kennedy’s dad and uncle are kept hidden. They even refuse to keep Mr. Kennedy safe because he left the party. Your choice is simple. You can vote for more lies, or you can vote for:
CLIP OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.: —the most honest CEO in America.
BLANKENSHIP: If they tell you I fell off the bed and hung myself, I didn’t.
