The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh, who exists almost entirely as a Twitter troll at this point, raged that “black people are astronomically more likely to be on welfare than white people. So the number of single young white male ‘Brads’ abusing the welfare system is minuscule. Practically non-existent. But of course Republicans don’t have the balls to do this ad with ‘Shaniqua’ as the villain.”

Fucking idiot. There are ~4x the white people in the U.S. (>50%) compared to black people in the U.S. (<15%).
