ItтАЩs really not that damning of a photo, to me anyway. 2006 was before Halloween costume awareness happened and frankly, he looks good. And, respectful. I bet he got compliments all night on his costume. If he did it in the last 10 years, yeah then IтАЩd have some questions but I doubt this photo has legs. Heck, it could help him bc people will say being PC is getting out of hand.
What non-hyped up political people would think. The other scandals of blackface weтАЩve seen were weird, ugly and offensive. If he apologizes, thatтАЩs probably enough for most.
Also, he apparently is/was a legitimately massive Michael Jackson fan and as a high school senior flew across the country to support him at his trial, and heckled people testifying against him? That might be as damaging to him as anything, capital W Weird behavior.
Stuff you do in college, as long as it wasn't really severe (rape, murder, etc.) is often forgiven by voters with an apology that they were young and stupid.
looks like big problems for Lawlor in NYhttps://x.com/ChazNuttycombe/status/1841925919302455442
Nice catch! I hope that photo travels far and wide.
Jones was just given a huge gift(I am still skeptical of his political skills)

Emily Ngo: "Photos show Rep. Mike Lawler, a Republican locked in a tight race for reelection, in blackface dressed as Michael Jackson in 2006."
