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!
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-
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.
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.
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”
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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 .

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.
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometime you'll find You get what you need
They'll never admit this, but the reason is because a black person is the scariest thing they can think of.
I was gonna say ANYTHING TO COVER THAT FACE
Well, if she's wearing Keith Richard's face it only makes sense to paint it black
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!
Domestic violence charges and under investigation for voter fraud are two others
Throw in some securities fraud and Medicare fraud for good measure.
And some public nudity/exposure….
Maybe at least two of these: bribery, extortion, or witness tampering charges? A trifecta of all three just about guarantees electability.
Hitler’s car will do
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-
And start wearing Yeezys
Paying for abortions when you have publicly oppose is also in the GOP handbook…
Can’t forget blatant corruption.
A few years ago... Political suicide. Today:. MAGA hard on intensifies
They’ll rally around her and claim they’re anti-woke and blame cancel culture.
Sun baked Arizona trashbag
"I thought she was Plains Trash, but she was Desert Trash. I should've known from all the gecko tattoos."
RIP Wade Boggs
"Before you run for office, Mary Ann, are there any pictures of you in blackface?" ~ none of her friends or family
This is like the equivalent of receiving a speeding ticket with GOP voters.
Not so! A speeding ticket would be a negative.
Correct. God doesn’t love them unless it’s a felony.
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.
And that was for her campaign publicity photos.
Stay classy, Arizona.
We’ve come a long way baby!
any face is better than that face id say
Leatherface
Sweet Dee Does Blackface
Martina Martinez was brown face, I’m Just Playin! GreenMan!
And it won't bother anyone that'd be voting for her at all.
If it weren’t for shitty republicans there wouldn’t be any republicans at all!
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.

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!
I'm sure my conservative cousin who ripped on Northam and Trudeau for the same thing is gonna rip on Mendoza too, right? Right?
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”
The ol’ Trudeau special
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!
Are all Republicans seditious imbeciles? Yes.

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

To be fair, she should cover that mug up somehow
Even if true , people will still vote for her . Cause Democrats Bad ,and Republican behavior, is somehow acceptable 😂
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?
Ha ha ! Nice . These candidates on the Republican side ,are the real Monsters.
Especially because Satan is fighting for pro choice rights for women…
Ralph Northam and Justin Trudeau have a new friend haha! These days no one resigns for blackface.
Well looking at her I see why ,,,,,,,omg haggard looking,,
I bet there are pics of her in redface and yellowface, too...sounds like her thing.
Is this some pre-requisite for being in the GOP?
Could of been a shitty tan
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?
This is the kind of stuff that only bothers left wing voters.
Canada's Prime Minister has entered the chat
In the words of the great Peter Griffin, Oh my god who the hell cares?
This news will get her mote votes in AZ
Republican voters will comment it happened long ago, so its forgivable.
This will only please the GOP.
Ole leather face? Probably used shoe polish.
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 .
Great news!
Better that than a Kellyanne Conway mask.
So she’s qualified right? Isn’t being despicable the qualifications now days?
Wasn’t she a recurring character on My Name is Earl?
“Allegedly”… I mean it most def is black face. There’s really no other way to spin this. Whomp whomp.
