Mitch McConnell may be stuck thinking I'm three-fifths of a person, but he's gonna have to acknowledge me as a whole Senator when we beat Rand Paul this year.
Please understand one thing:
Being Black doesn’t make you less of an American, no matter what this craven man thinks.
Mitch really said: “If you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans.”
To which I say, Mitch: Black Americans are American. And I am no less American than you.
And though Mitch McConnell may be stuck thinking I'm three-fifths of a person — he's gonna have to acknowledge me as a whole Senator when we beat Rand Paul this year.
We deserve so much better than Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul representing us in Washington. I’m ready to step up and serve the people of Kentucky in the U.S. Senate, but I can’t do it without your help. Can you chip in $5 to send me to the Senate? »

This foul comment came out of Mitch McConnell’s mouth not even a day after all 50 Senate Republicans voted to protect the Jim Crow filibuster, effectively blocking the voting rights legislation that’s been sitting in the Senate for months.
Mitch never cared about the filibuster when he packed the Supreme Court. His doom and gloom talk about protecting the filibuster at the expense of our voting rights — more specifically, at the expense of the voting rights of Black and brown Americans — is a shameful lie.
Mitch has never cared about us. And today, he just happened to speak his mind, and said the quiet part out loud. All the while, Rand Paul continues to idly stand by and join him in obstructing our democracy.
Enough. Kentucky deserves better than this — and I’m proud to be running to represent you and every American in the Senate. Please, chip in $5 to spread our message and fuel our grassroots movement to end this chapter of failed leadership in Kentucky.
Together,
Charles Booker
