This is the kind of candidate we're getting in the Trump era:
Residents of the community did not respond favorably:
It never fails to amaze me that, with all the attention being called to the intrinsic racism in this country, anyone can be that oblivious.

NBC 4 New York reports that Jon Girodes, the Republican candidate for New York’s 30th District, told the news station that he planned to hand out “Kool-Aid, KFC and watermelons” to people who attended a Harlem campaign rally in the coming weeks.
Harlem, of course, is a majority black neighborhood, and watermelons and fried chicken are two foods that are used to stereotype black Americans. All the same, Girodes doesn’t think there’s anything offensive about his stunt since people in the neighborhood should be grateful that they’re getting free food.
“What I think is anyone who gives free food to people is doing them a favor,” Girodes told NBC 4 New York’s I-Team. “Get a bunch of people who say it’s offensive and let me go into their neighborhood and give it out for free and see if they take it.”
Residents of the community did not respond favorably:
Meanwhile, another resident responded to Girodes’s “donation” of food by offering to “donate various foots in his ass.”
