GOP Senator Releases Ad Showing His Dem Challenger Swearing and Her Profane Response Was Perfection

Former fighter pilot MJ Hegar is running to represent Texas against the state's incumbent Republican Senator John Cornyn.

Once considered reliably red, the Democratic party has made large strides in Texas, most notably with the close Senate race between Beto O'Rourke and Republican Senator Ted Cruz in 2018.


The race is once again looking closer than Republicans four years ago would've ever predicted. Not only has the Cook Political Report shifted the Senate race from "likely Republican" to "lean Republican," but Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is holding his own—and, in some polls, winning—against President Donald Trump in the Lone Star State, which Trump won by nine points in 2016.

That may be why Cornyn is lobbing every criticism his campaign can think of or invent against Hegar, claiming that she's been handpicked by the Democratic party and that she values hobnobbing with celebrities over the lives of Texans.

Now, Cornyn's campaign has launched negative ads against Hegar for cursing.

Watch below.

The ad begins with a warning of "graphic language," before showing an exasperated Hegar using expletives that are bleeped out. The ad then praises Cornyn for treating people with "respect" and fighting "smart."

For a candidate running ads about coarse language indicating poor leadership, Cornyn is quite close to President Donald Trump, who has famously used graphic language not suitable for television on repeated occasions. As recently as this month, the President used the word "f**k" in an interview with far-right radio host Rush Limbaugh.

Cornyn has voted in line with Trump over 95 percent of the time. As Trump's reelection chances look more and more grim, Cornyn has assured that he broke with Trump on the border wall and the deficit, but said he did so privately.

Hegar, for her part, seemed unconcerned and clapped back with even more profanity.


People were living for it.




Others called out Cornyn's hypocrisy.





There's a growing chance it could be Cornyn who ends up cursing on election night, but we won't know until November 3rd at the earliest.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
