View on XJim Bognet, who is running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 8th District, premiered the televised ad, entitled "Good Luck Portland," on Portland's CBS affiliate KOIN "as unchecked mobs continue to destroy the city," the press release read.
Bognet directly addressed the "good people of Portland" who are "appalled at what their city has become."
In the video, Bognet speaks directly to residents "frustrated with the rioting and anarchy on the streets" and suggests that they move to his stomping grounds.
Nodding to the hit sitcom, The Office, based in Scranton, Bognet highlighted Northeast Penn.'s "mid-sized paper industry" as well as the region's love of law enforcement and products "Made in America."
"I’ve heard you've been having a few issues," Bognet prefaced the advertisement, referencing "peaceful gatherings, interruptions to business, and [dissatisfied] local citizen" as a montage of the consecutive Portland riots plays.
The congressional candidate reached out to hardworking families and business owners dwelling in Portland who are searching desperately for an escape.
"We won't tolerate any of that horsesh** around here," he concludes, first knocking on the current "defund the police" Congressman Matt Cartwright, whom Bognet claimed that he would be "taking care of...real soon."
He then advised viewers to go to GoodLuckPortland.com for more information.
"Every night is a violent one in Portland where businesses are burned, people are dragged from their cars and roundhouse kicked in the head, and a blatant disrespect for the rule of law pervades," Bognet told The Post Millennial.
"I believe it is important to highlight the danger this kind of lawlessness presents to our country and what exactly is at stake this election," Bognet went on. "Weak leadership in our nation's big cities, such as Portland, has led to and permitted horrible violence, and it must be stopped."
In northeast Penn. where community members "walk into stores to buy things, not to loot and burn them down," Bognet noted that his constituents "love our God, our neighbors, and our Second Amendment rights."
