The "ShamWow guy" is running for Congress and is looking to wipe the floor with the competition.
Offer Vince Shlomi, the once-prominent infomercial pitchman, is running for Congress in Texas, according to a filing with the state's Republican Party.

The former pitchman, best known for his role selling the "ShamWow" towel, told Fox News that he wants to "destroy wokeism" in Congress and that he's been motivated by the "political infighting in the country" to run and "make America happy."
In 2009, Shlomi was arrested for aggravated battery after a fight with a woman, who was also arrested. Prosecutors declined to press charges. Shlomi told NBC News in an interview for a 2013 article that he takes "full responsibility" for his actions and that he would cut down on partying.

If we're going to talk about Vince Shlomi, the Slap-Chop/ShamWow guy, and how he's running for Congress in Texas as a Republican, let's use his mug shot from when he gave a Miami Beach sex worker multiple facial fractures.

Did y'all know he also has a music video? I was going to make a thread about it a few weeks ago but never got around to it. Maybe I'll do a spinoff later today...

Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue.

Didn’t he get his arse kicked by a hooker?

Now all we need is the OxyClean guy to run as a democrat.

The "OxiClean guy" was Billy Mays, a famous pitchman known for his enthusiastic, loud commercials for products like OxiClean, Mighty Putty, and Orange Glo. He was a pop culture icon who died in 2009 at the age of 50, but his legacy continues through his memorable infomercials

As per autopsy reports, Mays died of heart failure due effects of drug use...damn shame.
quote:
The medical examiner concluded that "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and thereby contributed to his death," the office said in a press release. The office said Mays last used cocaine in the few days before his death but was not under the influence of the drug when he died. Hillsborough County spokeswoman Lori Hudson said that nothing in the toxicology report indicated the frequency of Mays' cocaine use. Cocaine can raise the arterial blood pressure, directly cause hypertrophy of the left ventricle, and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, the release said. However, in October 2009, the results of a second medical examination, commissioned by Mays' family, concluded that cocaine was not a "significant contributing factor" to his death.[31]
According to subsequent news reports,[32] the toxicology tests also showed levels of painkillers hydrocodone, oxycodone, and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam

You got down voted for this. Apparently some on this board prefer that their representatives have dubious loyalties.
