The Don Blankenship Campaign Advertisement meme stems from the 2018 West Virginia Republican primary, where former coal executive Don Blankenship released a series of bizarre and aggressive political ads. The most famous of these featured his attack on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whom he dubbed 'Cocaine Mitch' while referencing McConnell's 'China family.' The deadpan delivery and surreal political messaging turned the ad into an instant viral sensation. Today, the template is used for political satire or to create absurd accusations against various public figures and personal friends, capturing the unfiltered and often confusing energy of modern campaign rhetoric.
