Republican Elbert Guillory, a state senator in Louisiana, has released a new web video through his Free At Last PAC that criticizes Democratic senator Mary Landrieu’s record.
“Since 1996, black unemployment has doubled and the poverty rate for blacks has skyrocketed. Mary hasn’t helped us all,” says Guillory. “So on November 4, let’s send her back home to her father’s house or to her mansion in Washington, D.C., or wherever the heck she lives.” The Republican pol doesn’t mince words as he argues that blacks are “just a vote” to Landrieu and Democrats. Watch the video below:
Guillory, a longtime Democrat, drew national attention when he switched parties last year. The larger platform allowed him to speak out about how his former party has failed black Americans:
“It is the right decision, not only for me but for all my brothers and sisters in the black community,” he says. “You see, in recent history, the Democrat party has created the illusion that their agenda and their policies are what’s best for black people.”
Guillory argues against what he calls the Democrats’ agenda of dependency for blacks and touts the GOP’s respect for freedom, praising the idea that “the individual must be free to pursue his or her own happiness, free from government dependence and free from government control.”
