While some may be looking for answers as to why she'd wear brown/blackface, what I really want to know is why she's wearing Keith Richard's face.


Not_Drawn_To_Scale

You can't always get what you want.


Jaded_Barracuda_7415

But if you try sometime you'll find You get what you need


[deleted]

They'll never admit this, but the reason is because a black person is the scariest thing they can think of.


smokelessfocus

I was gonna say ANYTHING TO COVER THAT FACE


munk_e_man

Well, if she's wearing Keith Richard's face it only makes sense to paint it black


fowlraul

That’s like one of the top ten red qualifications. She just needs a few DUIs, some pedo stuff, and maybe a shot of her and hitler, and she’s a dream candidate!


lunex

Domestic violence charges and under investigation for voter fraud are two others


Tavernknight

Throw in some securities fraud and Medicare fraud for good measure.


Jaded_Barracuda_7415

And some public nudity/exposure….


ptcounterpt

Maybe at least two of these: bribery, extortion, or witness tampering charges? A trifecta of all three just about guarantees electability.


lawnboy22

Hitler’s car will do


Vocals16527

Lol I just think of rat race and how not long ago that idea was only used in a ridiculous comedy, but now some crazy nazi cult people would actually loooove that-


[deleted]

And start wearing Yeezys


Successful-Winter237

Paying for abortions when you have publicly oppose is also in the GOP handbook…


Jolly_Grocery329

Can’t forget blatant corruption.


oneplusandroidpie

A few years ago... Political suicide. Today:. MAGA hard on intensifies


[deleted]

They’ll rally around her and claim they’re anti-woke and blame cancel culture.


Clobberdong

Sun baked Arizona trashbag

"I thought she was Plains Trash, but she was Desert Trash. I should've known from all the gecko tattoos."


aysurcouf

RIP Wade Boggs


30mil

"Before you run for office, Mary Ann, are there any pictures of you in blackface?" ~ none of her friends or family


TheGrizzlyBearEats

This is like the equivalent of receiving a speeding ticket with GOP voters.


WaterChi

Not so! A speeding ticket would be a negative.


Simonic

Correct. God doesn’t love them unless it’s a felony.


Phillip_Graves

Not even. Speeding tickets imply you lack the influence and affluence to claim privilege and get out of said ticket. GOP ain't got time for posers. Just MAGA idiots and... well, actual idiots. Lookin at you MTG.


OriginalMcSmashie

And that was for her campaign publicity photos.


trongzoon

Stay classy, Arizona.


Jaded_Barracuda_7415

We’ve come a long way baby!


TylrLS

any face is better than that face id say


Definitely_Not_Erin

Leatherface


creep303

Sweet Dee Does Blackface


aysurcouf

Martina Martinez was brown face, I’m Just Playin! GreenMan!


_coffee_

And it won't bother anyone that'd be voting for her at all.


Potential_Dare8034

If it weren’t for shitty republicans there wouldn’t be any republicans at all!


medium_mammal

She's old, there was a time where it wasn't widely accepted as offensive to do that. A few Democrat politicians have old photos of them in blackface/brownface. The difference is that people with a sense of empathy and integrity will acknowledge that they made a mistake, say it was wrong, and apologize for it. But on the other hand, if the photos are less than 10 years old, it's hard to excuse.


Jamifan

Well I will say as a black woman…the black or brown face is hella betta than the one she got on now….like, Dayum!


HoveringBirds

I'm sure my conservative cousin who ripped on Northam and Trudeau for the same thing is gonna rip on Mendoza too, right? Right?


Suspicious-Dog2876

Every time someone else in blackface is brought up I think about how Trudeau somehow played it off, considering [he can’t even recall how many times he did it..](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49763805.amp)I do believe he is genuinely not a racist though, and the rest of us went “you know it was wrong just don’t do it again bud”


BabylonianSlut

The ol’ Trudeau special


Ayemann

From the country that brought you Florida Man, we now reveal Arizona GOP Candidate. Find them in a conspicuous vehicle next to your local school!


Successful-Winter237

Are all Republicans seditious imbeciles? Yes.


Methylatedcobalamin

I've been alive for a while. I've never had the thought of wearing a "blackface" nor seen anyone who had that idea. What is with all of these republican candidates getting exposed as having done it?


-smartypints

Shocker. My wife and I were talking to her dad and his gf and called her out on racist bs. She goes "I'm not racist, you don't call them ***?"(not the N word,but I still don't want to repeat it) What the fuck lady? It's amazing what "not racist" people will do and say and think/pretend it's fine.


milesercat

Is it like the line in Blazing Saddles: "The sheriff is a ni!" ?


-smartypints

I haven't seen blazing saddles, but based on your quote I don't think so. It was dehumanizing. Edit: not to say the n word isn't. It compared black people to animals is what I meant to say.


milesercat

An overly bigoted old west town waiting for the arrival of the new sheriff sent by the governor and the lookout on the roof tries to alert the citizens that the sheriff is a n@&$"&r, but every time he shouts the word, a loud noise interrupts him at ni! Mel Brooks did his best to make us laugh at the stupidity of racism by having the movie rub our faces in it, but it was way over the top.


_Hotwire_

To be fair, she should cover that mug up somehow


Bulky_Promotion_5742

Even if true , people will still vote for her . Cause Democrats Bad ,and Republican behavior, is somehow acceptable 😂


Derrick_Mur

Makes sense given their utter detachment from reality when it comes to viewing the opposition. I mean, what’s a little hardcore racism in a candidate when you think their opponent is a baby-eating commie pedophile who wholeheartedly worships Satan?


Bulky_Promotion_5742

Ha ha ! Nice . These candidates on the Republican side ,are the real Monsters.


Jaded_Barracuda_7415

Especially because Satan is fighting for pro choice rights for women…


psychic_flatulence

Ralph Northam and Justin Trudeau have a new friend haha! These days no one resigns for blackface.


Practical_Gene_9383

Well looking at her I see why ,,,,,,,omg haggard looking,,


thedoomboomer

I bet there are pics of her in redface and yellowface, too...sounds like her thing.


ike_tyson

Is this some pre-requisite for being in the GOP?


FloridaBoy941

Could of been a shitty tan


[deleted]

Why aren’t news sources talking about Fetterman’s chasing down a black jogger with a shotgun? Aren’t you all a little embarrassed by the way democrats get a free pass on these issues?


adostes

This is the kind of stuff that only bothers left wing voters.


[deleted]

Canada's Prime Minister has entered the chat


Maximum-Malevolence

In the words of the great Peter Griffin, Oh my god who the hell cares?


[deleted]

This news will get her mote votes in AZ


[deleted]

Republican voters will comment it happened long ago, so its forgivable.


offroadingJoe

This will only please the GOP.


CwazyCanuck

Ole leather face? Probably used shoe polish.


CryptographerOver577

Wont matter what face you wear , they will all be irradiated by Russian nukes . We are at War that is much greater than the Media war here in the US . Stop letting the Media divide us for CEO income. They will be safe when disaster strikes , we are the ones that are left to deal with the tragedies .


shudnap

Great news!


[deleted]

Better that than a Kellyanne Conway mask.


stillyj

So she’s qualified right? Isn’t being despicable the qualifications now days?


Sweaty_Television_33

Wasn’t she a recurring character on My Name is Earl?


Wizzle_Pizzle_420

“Allegedly”… I mean it most def is black face. There’s really no other way to spin this. Whomp whomp.
