Radio ad supporting AK congressman French Hill, what the actual fuck?

[Axulus]

Radio ad currently running in Arkansas in support of Republican Congressman French Hill on radio stations targeted to the African American community.

I can hardly believe it is real:

[Arctish]

Arkansas' abbreviation is AR

Alaska's is AK

I saw the thread title and wondered who the heck is French Hill?

I typically would go searching online to get confirmation that an elected Republican US Congressman actually ran that ad, but it is too absurd to be fictional.

*sigh, I'll look anyway*

An article regarding its source.

The ad was paid for by a North Carolina-based PAC called The Black Americans for the President's Agenda.

Hill's campaign doesn't believe the ad actually ran in Arkansas, but may have run in Missouri.

The Congressman says his supporters know this isn't him, and his body of work speaks for itself.

And this article has Vernon Robinson as responsible.

A long-time North Carolina politician, who was once dubbed the “black Jesse Helms,” is behind a pair of inflammatory ads seeking to scare black voters from voting for Democrats.

Vernon Robinson, a former Winston-Salem city council member and candidate for numerous offices, is the co-founder of Black Americans for the President’s Agenda, a political action committee. The group has taken out radio ads in Missouri and Arkansas that’s meant to be taken as two African-American women discussing the treatment of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kanavaugh.

...

Robinson, who worked on Ben Carson’s failed 2016 presidential campaign, rejected the notion that the ads are racist.
