Colin Kaepernick's skin appears darkened in Republican campaign fundraiser ad
Disguting, but not surprising.
Former NFL star Colin Kaepernick did not look like himself in a fundraising email that was sent by the National Republican Congressional Committee on Wednesday. The message included a picture of Kaepernick that appeared noticeably altered to make his skin darker, an attack ad tactic that has been used before and is considered by many as racist.
One Democratic operative who saw the NRCC’s Kaepernick ad described it as "disgusting."
"House Republicans are running on racism, plain and simple. It's disgusting, it’s offensive and it should be fireable, but there's no accountability in the Republican Party," the operative said.
Disguting, but not surprising.
