Louisiana Senate Candidate Literally Torches a Confederate Flag in New Campaign Ad

Gary Chambers Jr.'s first campaign ad was short and simple: The Louisiana Senate Candidate alone, in a park in New Orleans, sitting in a leather armchair, smoking a massive blunt. The ad landed him a wave of press, all of which, he told Rolling Stone, were part of an attempt to prove that the race to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. John Kennedy was "winnable."

Now, Chambers is back with more fuel for the viral-marketing fire. In a new ad titled "Scars and Bars," a first look at which was provided exclusively to Rolling Stone, he douses a Confederate battle flag in gasoline before lighting it on fire. The gesture makes for a striking image on its own, but like the first ad's stark shots of Chambers smoking in New Orleans City Park, it's accompanied by a voiceover monologue that pulls no punches.
