53. Are you not aware of the "Thug Life" video memes?

They use white kids, old black people, cats, dogs, and even sign posts. They basically represent when an organism or an object runs out of fucks to give, and does or says what comes to mind. It's not based on race, but rather an appropriation of a perceived life style. I, personally, would have used a different song to represent just how out of character this is for a politician.
