In this bit6 moments
  • Tim mocks Rand Paul's hair as out of control and says he looks like Fievel.
  • Tim questions why Rand Paul is the spokesman for libertarian causes when he looks like he's trying to sell a Dodge Dart.
  • Arkansas ran a vaccine outreach ad on YouTube targeting the Black community, acknowledging they don't trust vaccines due to the Tuskegee experiment and government history.
  • The ad features a man claiming he's a hustler entrepreneur who sells things and had to get vaccinated to stay safe in his work.
  • Tim finds the ad's framing uncomfortable and asks why it feels racist when the pitch centers on being a hustler selling undefined products.
  • Tim points out the ad's logic backfires: if you're not an entrepreneur, the pitch gives no reason to get vaccinated.
