From the same mindset which thought it could get African-American voters to abandon Obama because of his support of marriage equality comes this ad running in Arkansas. It exploits the recent Kavanaugh hearing in order to target black voters. To put it nicely, it's the most incredibly offensively racist ad I have ever heard. As a matter of fact, I would like to expand more about how this ad makes me feel, but there aren't words vulgar enough to articulate how I truly feel. Just listen to it.

It just goes to show why the LGBTQ and African-American community can't be truly accepted by the GOP. It thrives on making people fear LGBTQs and attempting to make African-Americans fear everyone else.
UPDATE - That didn't take long at all. The ad is causing a huge controversy with Rep. Hill disavowing it.
This is a real radio ad currently running in Arkansas in support of Republican Congressman French Hill on radio stations targeted to the African American community. I don't even have words to describe it. pic.twitter.com/vpzt1nGPlc— (((Ben Tribbett))) (@notlarrysabato) October 18, 2018

Only a twisted mind could come up with such a twisted interpretation of the Kavanaugh hearing and make it about democrats ready and waiting to lynch black men by having white women accuse them of unwanted advances.
What planet have we all been transported to?
