Kim Klacik's viral campaign Ad
On August 18, 2020, Kim Klacik's posted a campaign ad titled "Black Lives Don't Matter to Democrats" on the social media platform.
In the video, she says: "Do you care about black lives? The people that run Baltimore don't. I can prove it. Walk with me. They don't want you to see this. I am Kim Klacik. This is Baltimore-The real Baltimore. This is the reality for black people for every single day. Crumbling infrastructure, abandon homes, poverty, and crime. Baltimore has been one by the Democratic party for 53 years. What is the result of their decades of leadership? The top five most dangerous in America, the murder rate in Baltimore is 10 times the US average, the Baltimore poverty rate is over twenty percent, homicide, drug, and alcohol deaths are skyrocketing in our city. "
"Do you believe Black lives matter? I do. The vast majority of crime in Baltimore is perpetrated against Black people, who make up sixty percent of the population. So why don't we care about our communities? The democratic party betrayed the Black people of Baltimore. If the politicians walked the streets as I do, they would see exactly how their policies and corruption affect us. But they don't want to see this. Go to any Black neighborhood in Baltimore and ask this question: 'Do you want to defund the police?'"
And then three Black people share their views. At last, she says: "Democrats think Black peoples are stupid. They think they can control us forever. But we won't demand better and that will keep voting for them. Despite what they have done for our families and our communities. Are they right? I am Kim Klacik and I am running for Congress because I actually care about Black lives. All Black lives matter, Baltimore matters, and Black people don't have to vote Democrats."
