The end of an election season is the silly season for politics.
Politicians come up with creative and increasingly outlandish ways to reach voters.
And a board game by a Florida lawmaker made Kamala Harris steaming mad.
House Republican creates a new version of Monopoly
Political candidates have to come up with unique ideas to get attention amidst the flood of campaign advertising in the final weeks of an election.
Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) came up with a unique twist on a classic board game for his latest TV ad.
He reinvented Monopoly as “Kamalopoly” in the commercial.
Gimenez and his grandkids are sitting around playing Kamalopoly which features worse outcomes for the players than a regular game of Monopoly.
The game highlights many of the biggest failures of Vice President Kamala Harris in a hilarious way.
“Millions of illegal immigrants enter the country. Lose a turn,” Gimenez reads off a card that his grandson Michael drew.
“What! Not fair!” Michael exclaims.
“Record inflation: Pay $300 for your groceries,” Gimenez reads off a card to another grandson.
Squares named “Woke Road”, and “Recession Lane” are shown on the board.
“This is worse than the old man’s game,” grandson Marcus lamented.
“Kamalopoly — different name, same result — four more years of us losing,” granddaughter Ava declared.
“You lose. We lose. America loses,” Gimenez explains to his grandads. “Our children and grandchildren deserve better.”

The ad will air in English and Spanish in the Miami area that Gimenez represents in Congress.
Miami has become ground zero for the Hispanic shift toward the GOP
Gimenez, a native of Havana, Cuba, first won a seat in the 2020 Election when he defeated a Democrat incumbent.
He represents Florida’s 28th Congressional District which includes part of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys.
Gimenez is expected to have an easy victory in a seat that is nearly 70% Hispanic.
Former President Donald Trump lost Miami-Dade County by 30 points in the 2016 Election to Hillary Clinton.
He only lost by 7% to President Joe Biden in the 2020 Election.
Trump’s gain from 2016 to 2020 in Florida’s most populous county came from his increased support from Hispanic voters.
Republicans have been helped by Democrats like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) proudly proclaiming to be socialists.
Cubans, Venezuelans, and many Central Americans in Florida fled their native countries to escape socialist dictatorships.
Trump held a summit for Hispanic voters at this golf club in Doral, Florida where he made his closing pitch to this fast-growing demographic.
He warned that “open borders” are the biggest issue in the election over the economy.
Trump predicted that if he lost the country could go down the same road as Venezuela.
Kamala would turn the United States into “Venezuela on steroids.”
“If we lose this election, we may not have a country anymore. And I’ve heard this from a lot of very smart people … they say we may never have an election again in this country,” Trump said.
“We all know what happened with Venezuela,” Trump added.
Venezuela is ruled by socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro with an iron fist.
