In a new ad campaign, “Republicans are people too,” Vinny Minchillo argues that Republicans do the kinds of things often associated with liberals: read the New York Times, have tattoos and beards and drive Priuses, among other things.
“We love political discourse. We encourage political discourse. But when did “Republican” become a dirty word?,” the ad campaign website says.
Minchllo, who now works for a public relations firm in Texas, told the Washington Post this ad campaign is a personal project to change the “nasty discourse” about Republicans.
“Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist,” he said, “but other groups seem to get way more help. Democrats are treated better on TV. It always seems like a Republican is the bad guy.”
The ad also encourages people to tweet with the hashtag #ImARepublican.
