Get Your Booty to the Poll, Strip Club PSA, Objectification

A controversial PSA titled "Get Your Booty to the Poll" features pole dancers encouraging black men to vote to "make it rain" and end cash bail. The hosts express disgust at the ad, which they claim aired on broadcast television in markets like Austin and Atlanta. They argue the ad reveals the low opinion the Democratic establishment has of black men, believing they can only be motivated by sexual objectification.
