Steve Hilton opened October by asking California voters to treat a bedroom wink as a civic duty. Just Try It, California puts two young women on a bed under a Pride flag, uses language that sounds like a first sexual encounter, and reveals a mail ballot for him instead of Xavier Becerra. By the weekend his Golden Ticket was calling it creepy, a pastor who still wants him elected was calling the idea reprobate, and the polling gap had not moved.
什么史蒂夫·希尔顿只是尝试它 加州广告实际上阶段
The ad, posted October 1, is not an argument about rent, gas, or schools. It is a dare dressed as seduction. One woman says she cannot believe she is doing this and asks what happens if her father finds out. The other tells her to close her eyes and says she will do all the work. The camera drops to a ballot marked for Hilton. Then comes the line that made allied Republicans flinch. Now lick it. The script pretends that means an envelope.
希尔顿贴了一下,加州 纽约时报 描述Gen Z女性,一面"骄傲"旗帜,还有一面性暗示的双面人封印邮件选票. 发音 注意到一名妇女穿着衬衫阅读RESIST。 目标不是已经知道他的名字的基地. 他认为,如果调戏借用了基佬的亲密关系,然后把地毯挖出来,那么这个选民就更年轻了。
史蒂夫·希尔顿在他的加州州长竞选的结束月 大约在一分钟的大胆,而不是一个租房,汽油或学校的计划。
The bet is stranger because Trump has endorsed him, and Hilton has campaigned on costs, schools, and borders. In a separate interview he discussed that endorsement beside energy prices and classroom rules. Just Try It mentions none of it. Marking his name is treated as the dangerous act, as if the risk is a parent finding a ballot.
迈克尔·盖茨和索尼娅用金票砸了
金色的票本应该看起来像一个板子,而不是一个独奏特技. 橙色县登记簿 描述希尔顿与首席检察官候选人迈克尔·盖茨,副州长候选人格洛丽亚·罗梅罗,以及控制员候选人赫布·摩根的联系. 盖茨在希尔顿旁边竞选 他没有受到警告。
Gates wrote that his campaign was neither consulted nor alerted. He emphatically denounced the use of young women as a political tool and called the video an example of the inappropriate sexualization of young people. Californians, he said, deserve a serious alternative to decades of failed leadership in Sacramento, and this film was not it.
Sonja Shaw, the Republican running for state superintendent and a Chino Valley Unified board member, named the party. She told Hilton, the California Republican Party, and chairwoman Corrin Rankin to be ashamed for cheering what she called creepy, weird, disturbing garbage. She wrote that the spot is why good people leave the Republican Party, and that as a mother focused on children she believed a line had been crossed.
肖表示反对,因为剧本依靠父亲的发现和年轻女性被coax. 盖茨称同样的选择是父母权利的侵犯. 在选票已经移动的时候,他们需要票顶端看起来有纪律。 新闻周刊 在9月30日的辩论中,贝塞拉将希尔顿与特朗普捆绑在一起。 关于信封的笑话不能回答税务问题. 它告诉其余的板块是消耗性的。
史蒂夫・希尔顿的道歉视频 仍然卖广告作为天才
On Saturday, October 3, Hilton posted a vertical video about the reaction. He said the response was overwhelmingly positive, that offense was never intended, and that it grieved him. He gets it, he said, and he asked for grace. The campaign would do things supporters love and things they may not.
史蒂夫·希尔顿(Steve Hilton)在10月3日的视频中表示,他理解人们为什么会生气,然后将"Just Try It"的广告留在了网上.
The provocation stayed up. The New York Times reported that he still circulated the compliment he wanted remembered. People have told him it is genius. Earlier he had said a provocative, humorous point is often what the best communication does. Humor an attorney general candidate has to disown is not a message.
Rep. Robert Garcia of Long Beach called the spot bizarre and desperate. Hilton, he said, has attacked LGBTQ communities, stands with Donald Trump, and cared more about what Garcia called AI slop than about life in California. State Democratic Party chairman Rusty Hicks condemned the ad too. Becerra spokesman Jonathan Underland called it MAGA noticing a sellout willing to drop his own values. The line is self-serving. It also fits a campaign that polices gender and then rents a Pride flag for a punchline.
希尔顿告诉观众,反应绝大多数是正面的,人们称之为"暗示点"天才.
杰克·希布斯称希尔顿广告怪异 并保持他的认可
牧师Jhhhbs 卡尔瓦里礼拜堂的 瓷器山更进一步, 仍然以投票结束。 在Facebook的现场直播 3号楼的橙县登记簿, he called the ad grotesque and said it promoted lesbianism among college girls and some high school girls, which he cast as a pandemic of social ill. Anyone who thought it was fine was sick, he said, and anyone who sexualizes people for a vote is what the Bible calls a reprobate. Then he told followers to back Hilton anyway, because he would not trust Xavier Becerra to clean out his garage.
希尔顿在总检察官赛的金票搭档迈克尔·盖茨(Michael Gates)表示,竞选活动从未警告过他广告的事.
That is the California Republican coalition in one weekend. A pastor pathologizes queer women, insults the candidate who staged them, and still tells people to vote for him. Spencer Pratt scolded the critics and said the panic is why Republicans lose. Former chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson said the ad was not aimed at her. Fred Karger, the first out gay Republican to run for president, in 2012, called the targeting hypocritical and put that audience near a 1 percent chance of voting for Hilton.
Clever for whom? Not for the women used as a costume, and not for LGBTQ Californians watching this faction demand limits on gender-affirming care for minors and on school sports. Hilton’s answer is a technicality. He has said the ad does not conflict with those beliefs because the limits would apply only to people who are not adults. The worry about a father finding out makes that dodge thin. A campaign does not get to wink at queer adulthood and then treat queer youth as a threat.
为什么塞维尔·贝塞拉的投票线索不动
September surveys show a race no viral dare was going to fix. A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll of 4512 likely voters, taken September 15 to 20, put Becerra at 58 percent and Hilton at 33. August had been 55 to 37. SurveyUSA had Becerra leading 55 to 33. The Public Policy Institute of California, with 1103 likely voters from September 4 to 10, had Becerra at 60 and Hilton at 38.
证券市场, which is not a poll, gave Becerra about a 96 percent chance and Hilton about 4 when Newsweek checked. Hilton wants the first Republican governorship in California in two decades, with Trump’s blessing and a Fox News résumé. Attention is not a coalition. A clip his superintendent candidate calls garbage does not move voters who already prefer the former federal health secretary.
内部 联盟的政治报道,"特朗普-结盟"运动选择了文化斗争,称"反弹"为"勇气",而留下物质条件. 同样的习惯出现的时候 唐纳德·特朗普贴出参议员的手机号码 或何时 一个Epstein的抗议者被从万达利亚的集会上带走。普罗沃克,道歉,不拿下帖子,责备批评者.
一个特朗普支持的竞选活动借用了 Pride 图像,它想警察。
另一个侮辱击中了选民 骄傲旗应该是恭维。 LGBTQ 民族 noted how often ads borrow a queer moment and then abandon the people in the frame. Hilton does that. The flag is set dressing. The nervousness about dad is a closet gag. The ballot is the product. A home a couple can afford, a clinic that stays open, and whether a Trump endorsement means pressure on local police to join federal immigration sweeps were debate subjects on September 30. They did not fit the innuendo.
Hilton sells three-dollar gas, a home people can afford, and less bureaucracy. Just Try It never says how. Gates heard sexualization. Shaw heard a party losing its way. Hibbs heard a sin and still heard a useful sinner. Garcia heard a man losing. Voters living with California’s costs heard a bedroom sketch standing in for a platform.

史蒂夫·希尔顿要求加州只是尝试他的竞选,然后在周末向已经有过的共和党人解释广告.
