U.S. Senate Candidate Charles Booker Wears Noose in ‘Pain of Our Past’ Campaign Ad (Video)
“Pain of our Past,” although visually triggering, remains true to its message, with Booker entering the ad with a noose around his neck. The ad, which you can watch at the top of this post, provides a content warning before the opening image of a lynching victim dangling from a tree. While Booker speaks directly to the camera with the noose placed around his neck, he details how in 2020, Paul worked to block anti-lynching legislation.
