As Twitchy just reported, the GOP wasted no time in turning that CNN segment in which a hysterical Don Lemon, alongside Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali, mock Trump supporters into an ad showing just what the “elite” think of the average Trump voter. It was nice of CNN to come up with a spot for the Trump campaign and to do it for free.
But what’s going on over in the Bernie Sanders camp? People for Bernie has come up with quite a different spot — one that reimagines Bernie Sanders as a fragrance, complete with a perfume bottle with Sanders’ head as the screw-top lid. What does socialism smell like? We imagine it smells like that garbage truck a news photographer caught some kids scavenging food out of in Venezuela.
If this is your thing, there’s a link to the music for download.
Weird … on the one hand you have paid militant extremist Bernie Sanders staffers talking about setting up re-education camps and abolishing landlords (but not necessarily killing them), and on the other hand, you have volunteers making their man seem like a pricey capitalist extravagance. Sanders attracts all kinds, it seems.
Anyway, this is real:

Smells like desperation and Ben Gay

It smells like homelessness and famine.

Smells like mothballs

So what? It smells like old white man? This is just ridiculous.

Smells like other people's sweat.

Smells like unwashed hair and patchouli with an undertone of pot.

Oh yes this is absolutely a great idea for a campaign with a history of misogyny that also just celebrated the endorsement of a sentient bottle of Axe.

As a fan of Bernie, I find this totally repulsive. It relects a level of stupidity and silliness that Bernie doesn't stand for…I hope.
— Klaatu (@dbjdpb) January 28, 2020
Wow – the stupid with this is incredible…… the most perfect way to alienate independent voters outside of the snarky progressive left bubble …… incredible …..
— L V N (@LvnCali) January 28, 2020
This is funnier than a MADTV skit at their prime.
There is no one outside the Bern bubble that will take this seriously. This is cult level crazy right here.

I gotta admit, the homicidal look on this person's face *perfectly* encapsulates the Sanders campaign. 10/10, whoever did the casting deserves a raise. pic.twitter.com/uJXTbuG9or
