U.S. Senate Candidate Charles Booker Wears Noose Around His Neck In Campaign Ad

Charles Booker a Black candidate running for U.S. Senate in Kentucky put a rope around his neck in a startling campaign ad which takes aim at Rand Paul.  Booker's new video focuses heavily on lynching in the South, historically even using an actual noose hanging from a tree that he fastens around his neck as he narrates. CB mentions how Kentucky used to rely on lynching as a tool of terror against African-Americans which is why he finds it so meaningful that he's the first Black Kentuckian to win the Democratic nomination to take on Sen. Paul in a race coming up in November. He lists some of what he considers dubious positions Paul has taken like comparing expanded health care to slavery, opposing the federal anti-lynching act which has since become law and allegedly saying he would've "opposed the Civil Rights Act" of 1964.
