Revolting campaign message in Massachusetts

I was on my way to Boston Logan Airport yesterday when I saw an SUV with a campaign sign for so-called independent Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai. The sign has a picture of this boob next to a picture of Senator Warren wearing a Native American headdress. The tag line. Vote for a real Indian, not a fake Indian.

This is offensive on so many levels. This guy claims to be running as an independent, but touts on his website that he was invited by the buffoon-in-chief to the inauguration. Also, he seems to be running on the same insult platform as the b-i-c. And, although I didn't delve too deep into his policies, I would put money that he is opposed to immigration even though he is an immigrant. And while I don't care about a candidate's race, ethnicity, etc., I kind of like my candidates to be running as real Americans, not real Indians.

The Republican candidate against Warren is an asshole and this guy is an asshole.

Massachusetts is second to Vermont in our hatred for Trump. Let the other side split the asshole vote and Warren will win by 70 points.
