Paulson, or Republican PAC are running nasty ads against Phillips

The most recent one refers to him as a "shady businessman" and we wonder whether this is another code word for a Jew.

I was so caught up in the irony of Paulsen, who has been endorsed by the Kochs and supports Trump calling Dean a "shady businessman" that I completely missed the dog whistle aspect of it.

Thanks for point that out. It totally makes sense coming from such a white dude like Paulsen. Plus, he tries to make himself looks so guiltless and nice, but has others do his dirty work for him.

He's a piece of shit.
