CA-36 GOPer’s On Shocking Racist Sexist Web Video: If We Could Wave A Magic Wand And Take It Down

[RamboLiberal]

Jimmy Camp, campaign manager for Republican Craig Huey -- who's trying to pull off an upset win in the special election to replace retired Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) next month -- says he is as upset as anyone about the shocking web video a conservative PAC put up yesterday to help out his candidate.

"I don't know how we would get them to take something off the ," Camp told TPM in an interview Wednesday. "If I could wave a magic wand and have it off, I would."

Camp condemned the content of the ad, which attacks Democratic candidate Janice Hahn and has been labeled "the most vile, racist, sexist ad we have ever seen" by Hahn endorser EMILY's List. He called the 90-second video "offensive" and "inappropriate," adding that "it has nothing to do with our campaign."

But beyond the content, Camp acknowledges that what some Hahn supporters are saying about the ad is true: It could help the Democrat win in the end.

TPM picked this up, so I'm desperately looking forward to you completely not understanding why everyone will be disowning you within the next 48 hours.

2. OMG! I didn't see the video until now.

Up until today, I almost didn't care if Hahn won. But this is an outrage.
