The RNC released an infomercial video poking fun at Hillary Clinton's speaking fees that shakes things up from the typical dark, doom-and-gloom stuff seen in political videos. Instead of having a man with a deep voice recite tired talking points over crude cutouts of an opponent, the GOP opted to have Mike Mears, who works at the RNC, give his best Billy Mays impression.
Mears said that "For the low, low price of $2,777--that's just $46 per second!--You, yes, you can promote Hillary Clinton as your next featured guest!"
The minute-long video portrays Clinton as out-of-touch by going through a list of absurd contractual demands by her camp wherever she speaks, such as lemon wedges, hummus, and diet ginger ale. The RNC also jabs at Clinton's "dead broke" comment once more.
Matt Drudge hailed the creative video as a "fun populist swipe." He said it was the first time in a long time that the RNC showed some backbone.
