Richard Painter’s First Senate Campaign Ad Puts Him in Front of a Literal Dumpster Fire

Richard Painter’s First Senate Campaign Ad Puts Him in Front of a Literal Dumpster Fire (Mediaite)

Richard Painter has released his first campaign ad, and the messaging is unmistakable: Washington D.C. has become a huge political “dumpster fire.”

The video shows the former Bush ethics lawyer turned cable news commentator and aspiring Minnesota senator delivering a monologue as he stands in front of a literal, raging dumpster fire.

“Some people see a dumpster fire and do nothing but watch the spectacle. Some are too scared to face the danger, or they think it will benefit them if they let it keep on burning. Some of them shrug and say, ‘Oh, all this talk about dumpster fire, it’s just fake news.’”
