A Former 'Apprentice' Contestant Makes His Political Case ... Kind Of

The tools of politics are a sledgehammer and wrecking ball, not a pair of needle-nose pliers and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Obvious is the watchword, nuance something to be avoided at all cost. Raj Peter Bhatka, running for the U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional district, knows this. Raj, a former contestant on The Apprentice whose claim to fame was firing on anything with even a trace of estrogen in its bloodstream, has posted signs throughout the district that call for securing the borders and then say -- wait for it -- "You're Hired!" Because, you know, he was on The Apprentice! Get it! And Trump's catchphrase is "You're fired!" It's, like, ironic. Not very clever, mind you, but ironic.

Raj is a joke.

Raj was at the Prep-La Salle game trying to grab some votes. What a tool!
