Awkward: Republican Campaign Profiteer Powers Promotes Business with Killer Ravnsborg’s Image

Four days after Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg killed a man, South Dakota Republican Party spin blogger Pat Powers continues to use Ravnsborg’s image to promote his campaign advertising business:

In 1994, Hertz dropped O.J. Simpson from its advertisements, and O.J. never killed anybody. O.J. was also a lot prettier than the A.G., but South Dakota Republicans are sticking their golden killer.

In other awkward legacy advertising, Ravnsborg’s campaign website continues to carry the endorsement of former Senator Jordan Youngberg, who said in 2018 that Ravnsborg “has many ideas to make our state a safe place.”

    … and O.J. had more courtroom experience than Ravnsborg … (insert smile emoji here)

    Ravnsborg is certainly one of the homelier men I’ve ever seen.
