Brandon Herrera attack ad controversy

    by Silvestre: Brandon Herrera

    House Majority PAC is targeting Brandon Herrera with an ad claiming he joked about a school shooting where 19 kids died four years ago. The transcript details him using a submachine gun to shoot cutouts of children, adolescents, and men while laughing, which the speaker calls a kill shot that makes him unfit for Congress. Donut Operator pushes back hard on this narrative, stating the footage came from Australians described as deceptive who took advantage of hospitality, brought targets, then turned around to make us look like psychos after they left. It feels like a massive misunderstanding of what actually happened versus what HMP is portraying.

    Transcript (en)

    Four years ago, we lost 19 of our children in a school shooting. Just three months later, Brandon Herrera was in a video that made a joke out of it. Herrera appeared in a video using a submachine gun to help shoot cutouts of children. That was a kill shot. And laughed about it. Our children's lives aren't a laughing matter. Brandon Herrera is unfit for Congress. Don't let him make a joke out of Texas. HMP is responsible for the content of this ad. You're not shooting one of the miners for this, right? No, we're not. I'm aiming for the adolescent and the old man. What? The adolescent? The man in the middle is shooting God. The man. The bad man. The bad man.
