A Republican candidate for Governor of Michigan put out an advertisement that is disgusting and juvenile.
Many people are commenting on the violent and threatening tone of the ad. I agree that the campaign ad is an example of how politicians contribute to the violence and threats of violence that have become commonplace since the rise of Trump.
